Commentary on Proverbs 13:25

Theological / Devotional

The satisfying. The wants of the good man are moderate, and he has the promise of God that these simple wants will be satisfied (see Isa. 33:16). The desires of the sinful man are often intemperate. However much he gets, he wants more. For him there are no promises of the miraculous supply of his needs. His master is a cruel one. It is only by the goodness of God that springtime and harvest, sunshine and rain, give him a share of the bounties of the earth (see Gen. 8:22; Prov. 10:3; Matt. 5:45).
