Proverbs 19:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The soul; which is the principal cause and director of all men's actions. Without knowledge; without wisdom or prudence to discern his way, and what and how he ought to act in his several cases and concernments. It is not good; it is very evil and pernicious. That hasteth with his feet; that rashly and headily rusheth into actions without serious consideration. So two vices are here censured, the want of knowledge, and the neglect or disuse of knowledge in a man's actions.

Proverbs 19:2

2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
