Proverbs 25:20 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather When it is most necessary; and as vinegar upon nitre Producing an effervescence through the contrariety of their qualities; so is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart Such unseasonable mirth does not relieve, but increase a man's grief, and makes his heart far more heavy and sorrowful than it was before.

20 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
