Proverbs 9:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thou shalt be wise for thyself; thou dost not profit me, but thyself by it; I advise thee for thine own good. Thou alone shalt bear it; the blame and mischief of it falls wholly upon thee, not upon me, or my word, or ministers who have warned thee.

Proverbs 9:12

12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
