Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Proverbs 19:2

_ _ The last illustrates the first clause. Rashness, the result of ignorance, brings trouble.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Proverbs 19:2

_ _ Two things are here declared to be of bad consequence: — 1. Ignorance: To be without the knowledge of the soul is not good, so some read it. Know we not our own selves, our own hearts? A soul without knowledge is not good; it is a great privilege that we have souls, but, if these souls have not knowledge, what the better are we? If man has not understanding, he is as the beasts, Psalms 49:20. An ignorant soul cannot be a good soul. That the soul be without knowledge is not safe, nor pleasant; what good can the soul do, of what is it good for, if it be without knowledge? 2. Rashness. He that hastes with his feet (that does things inconsiderately and with precipitation, and will not take time to ponder the path of his feet) sins; he cannot but often miss the mark and take many a false step, which those prevent that consider their ways. As good not know as not consider.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Proverbs 19:2

Hasteth — That rashly and headily rushes into actions.
