Matthew Henry · Verse 10
We do not know what stings of conscience, or consuming passions, torment the prosperous sinner. Nor does the world know the peace of mind a serious Christian enjoys, even in poverty and sickness.
Proverbs 14:10
The heart knows its own bitterness and joy; he will not share these with a stranger.
