Proverbs 14:8 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way; it consists not in vain speculations, nor in a curious prying into other men's matters, nor in cunning arts of deceiving others; but in a diligent study of his own duty, and of the way to true and eternal happiness. The folly of fools is deceit; the wit of ungodly men, which, though they account their wisdom, is really their folly, is employed only in finding out ways of overreaching and deceiving others, and themselves too.

Proverbs 14:8

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
