John Trapp on Proverbs 24:10

Verſ. 10. If thou faint in the day of adverſity] Afflictions try what ſap wee have: as hard weather tries what health. Withered leaves fall off in a wind: rotten boughs break when weight is laid on them, ſo doe earthen veſſels when ſet empty to the fire. As is the man, ſo is his ſtrength, ſaid they to Gideon, Joſephs bow abode in ſtrength (though the Archers ſorely grieved him, and ſhot at him, and hated him) and the arms of his hand were made ſtrong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob, &c. Gen. 49.23, 24.
