Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 14:10

10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness , and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy .

The sense of the Verse is this, The inward griefs and joys of mens Hearts, though somtimes they may be guessed at by outward signs, yet are not certainly known to any but a mans s[illegible: 1+ letters]lf. Compare 1 Cor. 2. 11. The scope of the Parable may be to keep men from murmuring under their own troubles or envying other mens happiness.

Any other Person without or beside a Mans self.

Doth not partake of it, nor understand it.

Marginal references: Heb. the [illegible: 1+ letters]itterness of his Soul.
