3. 重——「重」字面的意义用于物质事物时，说明其用于道德事物的比喻意义「难堪」。
愚妄人的怒气——不合理且过分。
English original
3. heavy--The literal sense of "heavy," applied to material subjects, illustrates its figurative, "grievous," applied to moral.
a fool's wrath--is unreasonable and excessive.

is more unappeasable than the simpler bad passions.

5, 6. 隐藏的爱——不表现在行动上，便毫无用处。即便它以责备的彰显刺伤我们，这样的爱也胜过敌人那频繁的（比较 旁注）、因而虚假的亲嘴。
English original
5, 6. secret love--not manifested in acts is useless; and even, if its exhibition by rebukes wounds us, such love is preferable to the frequent (compare Margin), and hence deceitful, kisses of an enemy.

他右手上的膏油——能力的器官（诗17:7；18:35）。
他的右手竭力要压抑香气，却属徒然。有人宁可译作：「他的右手一遇膏油」，即「抓不住」。这样的女子无法驯服。
English original
16. hideth--or, "restrains" (that is, tries to do it); is as fruitless an effort, as that of holding the wind.
the ointment of his right hand--the organ of power
(Ps 17:7; 18:35).
His right hand endeavors to repress perfume, but vainly. Some prefer: "His right hand comes on oil," that is, "cannot take hold." Such a woman cannot be tamed.

a man to his praise--according to his praise, as he bears it. Thus vain men seek it, weak men are inflated by it, wise men disregard it, &c.
