Proverbs 25:19

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Stress is to be laid on the uselessness of the “broken tooth” and the “foot out of joint,” or tottering, rather than on the pain connected with them. The King James Version loses the emphasis and point of the Hebrew by inverting the original order, which is “a broken … joint is confidence” etc.
