Proverbs 18:18 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Causeth contentions to cease, by determining the matters in difference. Parteth; maketh a partition, giveth to every one what is right or meet, by the disposition of Divine Providence. Between the mighty; so it doth also between mean persons, but he mentions the mighty because they are most prone to contention, and most fierce and intractable in it, and most capable of doing great mischief to themselves and others by it, and therefore they most need this remedy.

Proverbs 18:18

18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
