Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 24:10

10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small .

If thou art impatient and unable to bear sufferings, if thy resolution flag, and thou givest way to despondency or dejection of Mind.

Heb. is narrow, it lives in a little compass, it is as strait as thy condition is; for there is an Elegant allusion in the Hebrew words. The sense is, This is a sign that thou hast but little Christian strength or courage, for that is best known by adversity.
