This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_18:23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
Ver. 23. The poor useth entreaties.] Speaks supplications; comes in a submissive manner; uses a low language, as a broken man. How much more should we do so to God? Quanta cum reverentia, quanto timore, quanta ad Deum humilitate aecedere debet e palude sua procedens et repens vilis ranuncula, {a} creeping into his presence with utmost humility and reverence.
{a} Bernard.
