10:6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the {e} rich sit in low place.
(e) They who are rich in wisdom and virtue.
10:6 The rich - Wise and worthy men, rich in endowments of mind.
10:4-10 Solomon appears to caution men not to seek redress in a hasty manner, nor to yield to pride and revenge. Do not, in a passion, quit thy post of duty; wait awhile, and thou wilt find that yielding pacifies great offences. Men are not preferred according to their merit. And those are often most forward to offer help, who are least aware of the difficulties, or the consequences. The same remark is applied to the church, or the body of Christ, that all the members should have the same care one for another.
