Proverbs 12:4 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

A crown; a singular ornament and matter of his glorying and joy. That maketh ashamed; that by her folly or wickedness bringeth shame to herself and to her husband. As rottenness in his bones; loathsome, and vexatious, and pernicious.

Proverbs 12:4

4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
