Commentary on Proverbs 20:8

Theological / Devotional

Scattereth. Or, "winnows." As the wind separates the chaff from the tossed wheat, so the wisdom of a wise judge discerns the truth and blows away the devices intended to obscure it. In like manner the Messiah will exalt truth and reveal error when He comes (Isa. 11:3, 4).
