Proverbs 20:17 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Bread of deceit; gain or pleasure procured by unrighteous courses. His mouth shall be filled with gravel; it shall be bitter and pernicious at last, like gritty bread, which offends the teeth and stomach. It will certainly bring upon him the horrors of a guilty conscience, and the wrath and judgments of the Almighty God.

Proverbs 20:17

17 Bread of deceitd is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
