Proverbs 11:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

When pride cometh, then cometh shame; pride, as it is the effect of folly, so it bringeth a man to contempt and destruction, such persons being commonly hated both by God and by all men. With the lowly is wisdom; whereby they are kept from those foolish and wicked actions which expose men to shame.

Proverbs 11:2

2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
