箴言 13:1-2 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 13:1

Among the children of the same parents it is no new thing for some to be hopeful and others the contrary; now here we are taught to distinguish. 1. There is great hope of those that have a reverence for their parents, and are willing to be advised and admonished by them. He is a wise son, and is in a far way to be wiser, that hears his father's instruction, desires to hear it, regards it, and complies with it, and does not merely give it the hearing. 2. There is little hope of those that will... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 13:2

Note, 1. If that which comes from within, out of the heart, be good, and from a good treasure, it will return with advantage. Inward comfort and satisfaction will be daily bread; nay, it will be a continual feast to those who delight in that communication which is to the use of edifying. 2. Violence done will recoil in the face of him that does it: The soul of the transgressors that harbours and plots mischief, and vents it by word and deed, shall eat violence; they shall have their belly full... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 13:1

A wise son heareth his father's instruction ,.... As he should, and has good reason to do; since it must be cordial, faithful, and disinterested, as well as the effect of age and experience. He "asks for it" and "loves" it, as Jarchi supplies the text; he likes and approves of it, is well pleased with it, and delights in it; seeing it tends to his profit and advantage; he "receives" it, as the Targum, so Ben Melech; he listens to and obeys it, and acts agreeably to it, which shows him to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 13:2

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth ,.... Or, "of the mouth"; either another's or his own, since the word his is not in the text; though it is supplied by the Targum, Aben Ezra, the Vulgate Latin, and Syriac versions, as by us. The Septuagint and Arabic versions render it, "shall eat of the fruits of righteousness". I should choose to translate the whole thus: "a good man shall eat of the fruit of his mouth": so Aben Ezra interprets it, "a good man shall eat"; and so the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 13:1

A wise son heareth his father's instruction - The child that has had a proper nurturing, will profit by his father's counsels; but the child that is permitted to fulfill its own will and have its own way, will jest at the reproofs of its parents. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 13:1

A wise son heareth his father's instruction. The Authorized Version introduces the verb from the second member. The Hebrew is elliptical, "A wise son, his father's discipline," i.e. is the object or the result of his father's education; he owes his wisdom to it. Septuagint, "A clever ( πανοῦργος ) son is obedient to his father." But a scorner ( Proverbs 1:22 ) heareth not rebuke; one who mocks at goodness and despises filial piety will not listen to reproof. Septuagint, "A... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 13:1

A wise son. The young man who considers himself to be exceptionally clever is tempted to idolize his own notions and despise parental correction. We are reminded that such conduct may be a grievous mistake and a proof of essential folly, and that true wisdom will follow a more humble course of filial duty. It is not merely obligatory on the son to submit to his father; it is for his own interest to follow paternal advice, and a mark of wisdom. Of course, this is taken as a general... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 13:1

General truths of health and salvation I. DOCILITY AS CONTRASTED WITH STUBBORNNESS . ( Proverbs 13:1 .) Let us carry this into the distinctly religious sphere. To he wise is to be a good listener. In the expressive phrase of the Bible, to "hearken to the voice of Jehovah," to listen to the suggestions of the inward monitor, is the secret of a sober, well balanced habit of mind, and of every safe line of conduct. All that God teaches, by the voice of inspired teachers, by our... read more

The wisdom of docility, etc.: a sermon to the young We have the positive and negative, the happy and the sorrowful aspects of the subject brought into view. I. THE WISDOM OF DOCILITY . The excellency of docility is seen in its results: 1 . In character. It is a "wise son" who heareth his father's instruction. 2 . In circumstance. The docile son will "be rewarded," will "be honored." The path he treads is one which leads to competence, to comfort, to health, to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 13:2

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth ( Proverbs 12:14 ; Proverbs 18:20 ). By his kindly speech and wise counsels he shall gain the good will of his neighbours and the blessing of God. Schultens observes that the word rendered "good" ( tob ) means what is pleasant to taste and smell, while that translated "violence" ( chamas ) signifies literally what is crude and unripe. The soul of the transgressors shall eat violence ( Proverbs 1:31 ). The Authorized Version... read more
