Proverbs 10:26 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The teeth set on edge by the sour wine used by peasants Ruth 2:14; Psalms 69:21, the eye irritated by wood-smoke, these shadow the annoyance of having a messenger who will loiter on the way.

Proverbs 10:26

26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
