This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The sense of the verse is this, The inward griefs and joys of men’s hearts, though sometimes they may be guessed at by outward signs, yet are not certainly known to any but a man’s self. Compare 1Co_2:11. The scope of the parable may be to keep men from murmuring under their own troubles, or envying other men’s happiness.
A stranger, any other person without or besides a man’s self, doth not intermeddle with his joy; doth not partake of it, nor understand it.
