John Trapp on Proverbs 19:22-23

Verſ. 22. The deſire of a man is his kindneſs] Or, his mercy. Many have a great mind to bee held merciful men, and vainly give out what they would do, if they had wherewith; and perhaps they ſpeak as they think too (this may bee one of thoſe many deviſes, thoſe variae & vanae cogitationes in the heart of a man, verſ. 21.)

But the poor man is better than a liar] For though hee hath nothing to give, yet having a giving affection, hee is better than a lyar, that is, than ſuch a rich man, who before hee was rich would brag what hee would do if hee were rich, and yet now is a niggard.

Saturatus pernoctabit, Hee ſhall not go ſupperleſs to bed.Verſ. 23. The fear of the Lord tendeth to life, &c.] Life, ſaturity, and ſecurity from evil (from the hurt, if not from the ſmart of it) are all aſſured here to thoſe that fear God. Who would not then turn ſpiritual purchaſer? See Chap. 22.4.
