Proverbs 21:31 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety (so the Chaldaic, Syriac, Vulgate: but margin, etc., 'victory') (is) of the Lord - (Psalms 20:7; Psalms 33:7; Isaiah 31:1.) External helps are to be used, but not to be made the main dependence. The Lord alone is the Saviour and Deliverer.

Proverbs 21:31

31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safetyf is of the LORD.
