Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - Let him drink, and forget his poverty. Ovid, 'Art. Amat.,' 1:237 - "Vina parant animos, faciuntque caloribus aptos:Cura fugit multo diluiturque mero. Tunc veniunt risus; tunc pauper cornua sumit;Tunc dolor, et curae, rugaque frontis abit." Thus is shown a way in which the rich can comfort and encourage their poorer brethren, which is a better method of using God's good gifts than by expending them on their own selfish enjoyment.
