Proverbs 27:19 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

As we see our own face when we look on the mirror-like surface of the water, so in every heart of man we may see our own likeness. In spite of all diversities we come upon the common human nature in which we all alike share. Others see in the reference to the reflection in the water the thought that we judge of others by ourselves, find them faithful or the reverse, as we ourselves are.

Proverbs 27:19

19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
