Proverbs 11:27 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

He that diligently seeketh, which is opposed to those who content themselves with lazy desires, or cold and careless endeavours, good, to do good to all men, as he hath opportunity, procureth favour with God and men. He that seeketh mischief, to do any mischief or injury to others, it shall come unto him; it shall be requited either by men's malice and revenge, or by God's just judgment.

Proverbs 11:27

27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
