[ itself]. |
Proverbs 27:16
_ _ hideth — or, “restrains” (that is, tries to do it); is as fruitless an effort, as that of holding the wind.
_ _ the ointment of his right hand — the organ of power (Psalms 17:7; Psalms 18:35). His right hand endeavors to repress perfume, but vainly. Some prefer: “His right hand comes on oil,” that is, “cannot take hold.” Such a woman cannot be tamed. |
Proverbs 27:16
Hideth — Attempts to smother her passion. Right — hand — Which being the great instrument of action, by its much stirring, diffuses the savour of it. |
- the ointment:
John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
