Proverbs 21:30,31 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Two companion proverbs. Nothing avails against, nothing without, God. The horse is the type of warlike strength, used chiefly or exclusively in battle. 1Ki 4:26; 1 Kings 10:26-28, may be thought of as having given occasion to the latter of the two proverbs.

Proverbs 21:30-31

30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safetyf is of the LORD.
