Proverbs 14:19 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. The evil bow before the good - They are almost constrained to show them respect; and the wicked, who have wasted their substance with riotous living, bow before the gates of the righteous - of benevolent men - begging a morsel of bread.
