Proverbs 30:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Accuse not a servant, to wit, maliciously, rashly, or without just and sufficient cause; for otherwise, in some cases, this may be not only lawful, but a duty, as when a servant lives wickedly, or robs his master, or the like, A servant; whose condition is in itself mean and miserable, and therefore thou shouldst not make it worse without great and apparent necessity. Curse thee; desire God to curse and punish thee, which though it may be sinful in him, yet being deserved by thee, thou hast reason to fear and expect. Be found guilty by God, who is ready to plead the cause of the afflicted, and upon strict search shall find thee guilty, and punish thee accordingly.

Proverbs 30:10

10 Accusef not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
