This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





By long forbearing, by patient submission and expectation,



is a prince persuaded, or pacified, whereas his rage is increased by opposition. Compare Ecc_10:4.



A soft tongue, a mild and humble answer,



breaketh the bone; softeneth a heart which is as hard as bone or stone. He alludes to those oils which sink through the flesh to the very bone. See Psa_109:18.
