19 Like a broken tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
19 Trusting in a treacherous man in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a foot that slips.
19 Trusting a double-crosser when you're in trouble is like biting down on an abscessed tooth.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint.
19 Putting confidence in an unreliable person in times of trouble is like chewing with a broken tooth or walking on a lame foot.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 25:19
Commentary on Proverbs 25:19
(Read Proverbs 25:19)
Confidence in an unfaithful man is painful and vexatious; when we put any stress on him, he not only fails, but makes us feel for it.
