 See notes on Proverbs 21:9,19. No better comment could be written on the first of these verses than Dr. Thompson’s description of a Palestine rain-storm. He says: “Such rains as we have had thoroughly soak through the fiat earthen roofs of these mountain houses, and the water descends in numberless leaks all over the room.
