Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble [is like] a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

Commentary

Commentary on Proverbs 25:19

Theological / Devotional

Broken tooth. Two vivid illustrations that point up the danger of relying upon a faithless friend in time of stress. A man cannot always get a weak or dislocated foot or a broken tooth made fit for use immediately, but he can easily cease to trust in a friend whose reliability he has good reason to doubt (see Isa. 36:6).
