Proverbs 14:30 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

v. 30. A sound heart is the life of the flesh, literally, "life of the members is a heart of composure"; for it is the tranquil spirit which is able to judge calmly and correctly, weighing all factors dispassionately; but envy the rottenness of the bones, for every form of passionate, violent seal sets aside calm consideration, indulges in foolish acts, and results in harm to the quick-tempered person's health and spiritual well-being.

Proverbs 14:30

30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
