Proverbs20:14

14 It is naught , it is naught saith the buyer , but when he is gone his way , then he boasteth .

The commodity is but of little worth.

To wit, to the Seller: he discommends it that he may bring down the price of it.

With the commodity purchased.

That by his wit he hath over-reached the Seller, and got a great advantage to himself. This he notes as a common but reprovable practice.
