Proverbs 19:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Before thy death come; which he adds not exclusively, as if he ought not to be wish before, but emphatically, to show that how foolishly soever he had spent his former and younger years, it highly concerned him to be wise before it was too late, or before death came.

Proverbs 19:20

20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
