John Trapp on Proverbs 28:25

Verſ. 25. He that is of a proud heart, &c.] Latus animo. He that through pride and ambition, cannot keep within bounds of his calling or condition, but thinks great thoughts of himſelf, and therefore ſeeks great things for himſelf, this man, if croſſed, is eaſily kindled, and ſhall be made lean; God will tame him, and take him a link lower, as we ſay, Iſa. 2.11, 12, 13. See chap. 13.10. with the note. This bigneſs of heart, is but as the bigneſs of a blown bladder, &c.

But he that putteth his truſt in the Lord, ſhall be fat] He ſhall laugh and be fat, as the ſaying is, he ſhall live at a great deal of hearts eaſe, and others ſhall live quietly by him. That which would break a proud mans heart, will not break an humble mans ſleep. He is content with his preſent condition, be it better or worſe, hath a ſelf-ſufficiency, 1 Tim. 6.6. ſtudies to be quiet, ſeeks peace and enſues it, depends upon God for direction, and ſucceſs in all buſineſſes; and what ſhould ayl this man, but that he may grow fat? the Iriſh would ask him, (if they knew his wealth) what he meant to dye?
