Wesley's Notes for Proverbs 19:12

19:10 Delight - To live in pleasure and outward glory, doth not become him, nor suit with him; because prosperity corrupts even wise men, and makes fools mad; and because it gives him more opportunity to discover his folly, and to do mischief both to himself and others.

19:13 Dropping - Are like rain continually dropping upon an house.
