Proverbs 29:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The deceitful man, Heb. the man of deceits, or of usuries, i.e. who hath enriched himself by such practices, meet together; converse together, and one needeth the other, as Proverbs 22:2. The Lord lighteneth both their eyes; either their bodily eyes with the light of the sun, which promiscuously shines upon both; or the eyes of their minds with the light of reason and grace, which he indifferently gives to them; and therefore the one should not envy nor despise the other, but be ready to do good one to another, as God doth good to both.

Proverbs 29:13

13 The poor and the deceitfule man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.
