• Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Proverbs 25:24: This is the same with what he had said, Pro 21:9. Observe, 1. How those are to be pitied that are unequally yoked, especially with such as are brawling and contentious, whether husband or wife; for it is equally true of both. It is better to be alone than to be joined to one who, instead of being a meet-help, is a great hindrance to the comfort of life. 2.
