(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
portion - of thy bread.
seven - the perfect number.
eight - even to more than seven; that is, “to many” (so “waters,” Ecc 11:1), nay, even to very many in need (Job 5:19; Mic 5:5).
evil - The day may be near, when you will need the help of those whom you have bound to you by kindnesses (Luk 16:9). The very argument which covetous men use against liberality (namely, that bad times may come), the wise man uses for it.
