Proverbs 10:15 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

v. 15. The rich man's wealth is his strong city, it serves as his bulwark in adversity and enables him to go forward with confidence and energy; the destruction of the poor is their poverty, for they are dependent upon, and influenced by, even the slightest misfortune, that is, poverty well deserved on account of foolish and improvident conduct always causes such poor people to sink more deeply in folly and moral need.

Proverbs 10:15

15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
