Adam Clarke Commentary - Proverbs 25:22 - 25:22


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head - Not to consume, but to melt him into kindness; a metaphor taken from smelting metallic ores: -

So artists melt the sullen ore of lead,

By heaping coals of fire upon its head:

In the kind warmth the metal learns to glow,

And pure from dross the silver runs below.

S. Wesley.
