Proverbs 12:26 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour. — Though, perhaps, inferior to him in worldly advantages. Or, it may signify, the just man is a guide to his neighbour, showing him “the way wherein he should walk;” the wicked, on the other hand, so far from guiding others, himself helplessly wanders.

Proverbs 12:26

26 The righteous is more excellente than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
