Proverbs 25:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For better it is, it is more for thy credit and comfort, that it be said unto thee, by some public officer, or by the king himself. Whom thine eyes have seen; into whose presence and acquaintance thou hast so boldly intruded thyself, who as before he observed thy impudence, so now he sees and suffers this public disgrace to be cast upon thee.

Proverbs 25:7

7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
