Proverbs 19:1 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

PROVERBS CHAPTER 19 That walketh in his integrity; who is upright in his words and actions. That is perverse in his lips; that useth to speak wickedly, which proceeds from a wicked heart, and is usually attended with an evil life. Is a fool; is a hypocrite, or a wicked man, for this is opposed to the upright man in the former clause; yea, though he be rich, which is implied from the same clause.

Proverbs 19:1

1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
