Proverbs 28:25 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

He that is of a proud heart High-minded, self-conceited, insolent, or ambitious; stirreth up strife Because he is constantly endeavouring to advance and please himself, and hates and opposes all that stand in his way; and because he despises other men, is jealous of his own honour, and impatient of the least slight, affront, or injury; but he that putteth his trust in the Lord Who is mean and vile in his own eyes, and therefore trusts not in himself, but in God only, making God's will, and not his own, nor his passion, honour, or interest, the rule or end of his actions or pursuits, and who therefore can easily deny himself and yield to others, all which things are excellent means to prevent strife, and preserve and promote peace; shall be made fat Shall live happily and comfortably, because he avoids that strife which makes men's lives miserable.
