      It is not enough to have good intentions or gracious dispositions; mind, as well as heart, must be in active exercise.  A foolish man is a curse to society.  Wisdom is greatly needed to produce a prosperous life, and to make a man useful to others.  Eli was a good man, but exhibited great folly in the management of his sons, and disaster came thereby upon Israel.  Reason is entrusted to every man to be used, and if the powers of intelligence are allowed to rust, the result is loss to ourselves and calamity to others. 

 

The Pulpit Commentary, Deuteronomy p. 366, Deuteronomy 22:8, (D. Davies)
