Ecclesiastes 10:2 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

A wise man's heart (is) at his right hand - (Ecclesiastes 2:14.) The right hand is more expert than the left. The godly wise is more on his guard than the foolish sinner, though at times he slip. Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without one. His heart (the seat of the will, and so the guide of the understanding) is in the right place.

2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
