This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
hideth - or, “restrains” (that is, tries to do it); is as fruitless an effort, as that of holding the wind.
the ointment of his right hand - the organ of power (Psa 17:7; Psa 18:35). His right hand endeavors to repress perfume, but vainly. Some prefer: “His right hand comes on oil,” that is, “cannot take hold.” Such a woman cannot be tamed.
