Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 21:26

26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

The slothful man mentioned in the last verse. But because the Verses in this Book are for the most part independent one upon another, this clause is and may be otherwise rendred, There is that coveteth, &c. Or, the wicked (which may be understood from the opposition of the righteous in the next clause) coveteth, &c.

Spends his whole time in vain and lazy desires, but will not labour to get any thing, either to [illegible: 1 word] [illegible: 1 word], or to give to others.

By Gods Blessing upon his [illegible: 1 word] he procures enough, not onely for his own support, but also for the liberal relief of others.
