Commentary on Proverbs 27:20

Theological / Devotional

Never satisfied. The more a man has, the more he wants. With selfishness the ailing passion of the unregenerate man, there is no limit to the ambitions that he may form and no limit to the destruction and death that he may bring upon others in the process (see Prov. 30:15, 16; Eccl. 1:8; cf. 1 John 2:15, 16).
