Proverbs 13:2

Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible · Matthew Henry (1662–1714) · Public Domain

Note, 1. If that which comes from within, out of the heart, be good,

and from a good treasure, it will return with advantage. Inward comfort

and satisfaction will be daily bread; nay, it will be a continual feast

to those who delight in that communication which is to the use of

edifying. 2. Violence done will recoil in the face of him that does it:

The soul of the transgressors that harbours and plots mischief, and

vents it by word and deed, shall eat violence; they shall have their

belly full of it. Reward her as she has rewarded thee, Rev. xviii. 6.

Every man shall drink as he brews, eat as he speaks; for by our words

we must be justified or condemned, Matt. xii. 37. As our fruit is, so

will our food be, Rom. vi. 21, 22.
