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

Bible Comments

In the light of the king's countenance is life; his favour and smiling countenance is most sweet and refreshing, especially to him that was under a sentence of death, Proverbs 16:14. His favour is as a cloud of the latter rain; as acceptable as those clouds which bring the latter rain, whereby the fruits are filled and ripened a little before the harvest; of which see Deuteronomy 11:14 Job 29:23 James 5:7.
