Commentary on Proverbs 16:7

Theological / Devotional

At peace. When a man lives as God would have him live, the enmity of his foes is often assuaged by his goodness, quite apart from the special intervention of God, although the Lord stands ready to intervene should it be necessary, as in the case of Jacob and Esau (Gen. 32:6-11).
