Commentary on Proverbs 30:22

Theological / Devotional

A servant. The earth trembles under such incongruities as a slave made king, without any training to fit the bondman for the post (see ch. 19:10); a fool who is wealthy and able to gratify his uncontrolled desires to indulge himself and trouble others (see ch. 29:2); an unattractive woman who lives a soured and lonely life before finally marrying and then venting her spite upon those who formerly looked down upon her; and, lastly, a servant girl who fills her mistress’s shoes and is as little fitted to rule a household well as the slave to govern a kingdom.
