Proverbs 15:16 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The fear of the Lord, which gives a man tranquillity and comfort in what he hath. Trouble; tumultuous lusts and passions, vexatious cares and fears, horrors of conscience, and expectation of God's curse and judgment, which riches gotten without God's fear do commonly produce.

Proverbs 15:16

16 Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
