Proverbs 20:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

It is naught; the commodity is but of little worth. Saith the buyer, to wit, to the seller; he discommends it, that he may bring down the price of it. Gone his way, with the commodity purchased. He boasteth that by his wit he hath overreached the seller, and got a great advantage to himself. This he notes as a common but reprovable practice.

Proverbs 20:14

14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
