Proverbs 13:19 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The connection is somewhat obscure. Either, “Satisfied desire is pleasant, therefore it is an abomination to fools to depart from the evil on which their minds are set;” or, “Sweet is the satisfaction of desire, yet the wicked will not depart from the evil which makes that satisfaction impossible.”

Proverbs 13:19

19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
