Contextual Overview

¹¹ Wysdome with inheritaunce is good, yet better is it with them that without care may beholde the sunne: ¹² For wysdome defendeth aswell as money, and the excellent knowledge & wysdome geueth lyfe vnto hym that hath it in possession. ¹³ Consider the worke of God, how that no man can make the thing straight, whiche he maketh crooked. ¹⁴ Use well the tyme of prosperitie, and remember the tyme of misfortune: for God doth so temper the one and the other, that a man can finde nothing els. ¹⁵ All thinges haue I considered in the time of my vanitie: that the iust man perisheth for his righteousnesse sake, & the vngodly liueth in his wickednesse. ¹⁶ Therfore be thou neither to righteous nor ouer wyse, that thou perishe not. ¹⁷ Be neither to vnrighteous also nor to foolishe, lest thou die before thy time. ¹⁸ It is good for thee to take holde of this, and not to let that go out of thy hande: For he that feareth God, commeth foorth with them all. ¹⁹ Wysdome geueth more courage vnto the wyse, then ten mightie men of the citie. ²⁰ For there is not one iust vpon earth that doth good, and sinneth not.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth,.... Or "thy conscience", as the Vulgate Latin version, which is as a thousand witnesses; which, if a man attends to, he will be convinced of his own faults, failings, and infirmities, he is frequently in the commission of. Particularly,

that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others; either in heart, or with the tongue; thought ill of them, wished ill to them; spoke contemptibly of them, reviled and reproached them; called them by bad names, and abused them; and said some very hard and severe words concerning them, in a passionate fit, being provoked; and afterwards repented of it, being better informed of the state of the case, or being convinced of the evil of passion and rash speaking; and therefore such should consider the like passions and infirmities of others, and pass over them, and forgive them: so Alshech,

"if thou hast cursed others, and dost desire men should forgive thee, so do thou also forgive;''

see Matthew 6:14. The word "oftentimes", in the first clause, is to be connected, not with the word "knoweth", as if a man often knew this, but with the word "cursed"; suggesting, that a man may be often guilty of this himself, and therefore should be more sparing of his censures of others; see Matthew 7:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Curse ... cursed - Rather, speak evil of ... spoken evil of.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 22. Thou thyself - hast cursed others. — קללת kalalta, thou hast spoken evil; hast vilified others. O, who is free from evil speaking, from uncharitable speaking; from detailing their neighbour's faults, from whispering, talebearing, and backbiting? Do not wonder if God, in his justice, permit thee to be calumniated, seeing thou hast so frequently calumniated others. See my discourse on Psalms 15:1-5.
