This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
19.For ye bear with fools willingly. He calls them wise — in my opinion, ironically. He was despised by them, which could not have been, had they not been puffed up with the greatest arrogance (843) He says, therefore — “ you are so wise, act the part of wise men in bearing with me, whom you treat with contempt, as you would a fool.” Hence I infer, that this discourse is not addressed to all indiscriminately, but some particular persons are reproved, who conducted themselves in an unkind manner. (844)
(843) “D’ merueilleuse arrogance;” — “ an amazing arrogance.”
(844) “Enuers luy;” — “ him.”
