Proverbs 12:26 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

More excellent; either,

1. In his temper and disposition, more just, and generous, and public-spirited, and merciful, &c. Or,

2. In his condition, more happy, notwithstanding all his sufferings and the contrary opinion of the world concerning them. Than his neighbour; than any other men. Seduceth them, Heb. maketh them to err or wander, to lose that excellency or happiness which they had promised to themselves in and by their wicked practices.

Proverbs 12:26

26 The righteous is more excellente than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
