This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Despiseth his neighbour; which contempt he showeth, either,



1. By contemptuous or reproachful expressions of him; or,



2. By not asking or not regarding his advice, but trusting wholly to his own understanding.



Holdeth his peace; either,



1. He forbeareth all such expressions against his neighbour. Or,



2. He silently and patiently bears these reproaches from his neighbour, and doth not render one reproach for another; wherein he showeth true wisdom. Or,



3. He desireth and hearkeneth to the counsels of others. Any of these ways the opposition is sufficiently evident.
