Proverbs 10:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Riches are not got by wisdom or diligence, but only by God's favour and blessing. He addeth no sorrow with it, i.e. with that blessing which gives riches, but gives them content and comfort in their riches, which is a singular gift and blessing of God, of which see Ecclesiastes 2:24,26 Ecclesiastes 3:13 5:18,19; whereas the riches which wicked men get are attended with God's curse, with many discontents, with tormenting cares and fears, with horrors of conscience, and with the just dread of a sad account to God for them.

Proverbs 10:22

22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
