Wesley's Notes for Proverbs 14:34

14:32 Driven away - In his death, from God's favour and presence. Death - In his greatest dangers and distresses, yea even in death itself.

14:33 Resteth - Is laid up and hid there. In the midst - In the heart. Made known - They will publish in all times and companies.

14:35 Shame - Both to himself, by his foolish management of the king's affairs, and to the king who made so foolish a choice of a servant.
