King James Translators' Notes

look...: Heb. set thine eyes upon him

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

12. look well to him-Hebrew, "set thine eyes upon him"; provide for his well-being.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

39:11-14 The servants of God alone are prepared for all events; and they are delivered and comforted, while the wicked suffer. They often meet with more kindness from the profane, than from hypocritical professors of godliness. The Lord will raise them up friends, do them good, and perform all his promises.


Psalm 105:14 He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes:
Psalm 105:15 "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm."
Proverbs 16:7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Proverbs 21:1 The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.
