Proverbs 16:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

He that handleth a matter wisely; he who orders his affairs with discretion. Or, as others, both ancient and later interpreters, take it, he that understandeth or attendeth to the word, to wit, the word of God, which is called absolutely the word, Proverbs 13:13, and elsewhere, making that the rule of his actions. Shall find good; shall obtain happy success. Who so trusteth in the Lord; who doth not trust to his prudence or diligence, but to God's providence and blessings. Or, who mixeth God's word with faith, as the phrase is, Hebrews 4:2. Happy is he; he shall not only find some good, but shall certainly attain to true happiness.
