Proverbs 27:16 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Whosoever hideth her, i.e. attempts to smother or bridle her passion, that it may not break forth to her shame, and to his own discomfort and reproach, hideth the wind; undertakes that which is impossible. The ointment of his right hand; which being the great instrument of action, by its much stirring diffuseth the savour of it.

Proverbs 27:16

16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
