Proverbs - 20:1 Meaning
“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
20:1-4 It seems hard to believe that men of the greatest abilities, as well as the ignorant, should render themselves fools and madmen, merely for the taste or excitement produced by strong liquors. 2. How formidable kings are to those who provoke them! how much more foolish then is it to provoke the King of kings! 3. To engage in quarrels is the greatest folly that can be. Yield, and even give up just demands, for peace' sake. 4. He who labours and endures hardship in his seed-time for eternity, will be properly diligent as to his earthly business.
“And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.”
