EXPOSITION.
"_He croucheth and humbleth himself, that the poor may
fall by his strong ones_." Seeming humility is often
armour-bearer to malice. The lion crouches that he may leap with
the greater force, and bring down his strong limbs upon his prey.
When a wolf was old and had tasted human blood, the old Saxon
cried, "Ware, wolf!" and we may cry, "Ware, fox!" They who crouch
to our feet are longing to make us fall. Be very careful of
fawners; for friendship and flattery are deadly enemies.
EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.
Verse 10.--"_He croucheth, and humbleth himself_," etc.
There is nothing too mean or servile for them, in the attempt to
achieve their sinister ends. You shall see his holiness the Pope
washing the pilgrims' feet, if such a stratagem be necessary to
act on the minds of the deluded multitude; or you shall see him
sitting on a throne of purple, if he wishes to awe and control
the kings of the earth.--^John Morison.
Verse 10.--If you take a wolf in a lambskin, hang him up;
for he is the worst of the generation.--^Thomas Adams.
HINTS TO PREACHERS.
Verse 10.--Designing humility unmasked.
