"Heb. putteth a precious stone in a heap of stones. This probably refers, as Coverdale understands it, to the custom of throwing a stone to the heap under which a criminal was buried. So the Vulgate, Sicut qui mittit lapidem in acervum Mercurii; ita qui tribuit insipienti honorem, ""As he who throws a stone to Mercury's heap, so is he who gives honour to a fool."" Mercury was a heathen god of highways; and stones were erected in different parts to guide the traveller: hence those lines of Dr. Young," |
