On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It is wisdom and understanding; it will make those wise and intelligent that receive it and submit to it. It is not doubtful but certain, not trivial but weighty, not a matter of nice speculation but of admirable use to guide us in the right way to our great end. It was what he had himself well digested.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
