Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 27:16

16 Whosoever hideth her , hideth the wind , and the ointment of his right hand which bewrayeth it self.

i. e. Attempts to smother or bridle her passion, that it may not break forth to her shame, and to his own discomfort and reproach.

Undertakes that which is impossible.

Which being the great instrument of action by its much stirring diffuseth the savour of it.
