Proverbs 14:10 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

v. 10. The heart knoweth his own bitterness, it is best acquainted with its own trouble and resents interference; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy, for no outsider is able fully to enter into the feelings of the heart. This saying does not conflict with Romans 12:15, but is directed against officious intrusion and an unsympathetic prying into the affairs of one's neighbors.

Proverbs 14:10

10 The heart knoweth his owna bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.
