This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_20:14 [It is] naught, [it is] naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
Ver. 14. It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer.] Or, Saith the possessor, and so Melanchthon reads it: as taxing that common fault and folly of slighting present mercies, but desiring and commending them when they are lost. Virtutem incolumen odimus, sublatam ex oculis quaerimus invidi. Israel "despised the pleasant land," {Psa_106:24} and the precious manna, {Num_11:6} and Solomen’s gentle government, {1Ki_12:4} Our corrupt nature weighs not good things till we want them, as the eye sees nothing that lies upon it.
