箴言 29:22-25 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 29:22

See here the mischief that flows from an angry, passionate, furious disposition. 1. It makes men provoking to one another: An angry man stirs up strife, is troublesome and quarrelsome in the family and in the neighbourhood, blows the coals, and even forces those to fall out with him that would live peaceable and quietly by him. 2. It makes men provoking to God: A furious man, who is wedded to his humours and passions, cannot but abound in transgressions. Undue anger is a sin which is the cause... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 29:23

This agrees with what Christ said more than once, 1. That those who exalt themselves shall be abased. Those that think to gain respect by lifting up themselves above their rank, by looking high, talking big, appearing fine, and applauding themselves, will on the contrary expose themselves to contempt, lose their reputation, and provoke God by humbling providences to bring them down and lay them low. 2. That those who humble themselves shall be exalted, and shall be established in their... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 29:24

See here what sin and ruin those involve themselves in who are drawn away by the enticement of sinners. 1. They incur a great deal of guilt: He does so that goes partner with such as rob and defraud, and casts in his lot among them, Prov. 1:11 The receiver is as bad as the thief; and, being drawn in to join with him in the commission of the sin, he cannot escape joining with him in the concealment of it, though it be with the most horrid perjuries and execrations. They hear cursing when they... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 29:25

Here, 1. We are cautioned not to dread the power of man, neither the power of a prince nor the power of the multitude; both are formidable enough, but the slavish fear of either brings a snare, that is, exposes men to many insults (some take a pride in terrifying the timorous), or rather exposes men to many temptations. Abraham, for fear of man, denied his wife, and Peter his Master, and many a one his God and religion. We must not shrink from duty, nor commit sin, to avoid the wrath of man,... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:22

An angry man stirreth up strife ,.... In families, neighbourhoods, communities, churches, and commonwealths; that is, one that is given to anger, and gives way to it, in whom it prevails and rules; and a furious man aboundeth in transgression ; or, "a master of wrath or fury" F25 בעל חמה "dominus furoris", so Vatablus, Piscator, Michaelis. ; one much addicted to it: or, "the husband of wrath": wedded to it, as a man to his wife: or, as the Vulgate Latin version renders it, "who... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:23

A man's pride shall bring him low ,.... As the pride of Adam, in affecting to be as gods, knowing good and evil; he lost the image of God; was brought into a state of darkness and ignorance, into debt and to a dunghill, to beggary and rags; filled with loathsome diseases, and left in thraldom and bondage to sin and Satan; and so all his posterity were brought into the same low estate. This might be exemplified in particular persons, in Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod, and others; and, as will... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:24

Whoso is partner with a thief ,.... That robs and steals, and raises away another man's property; which to do is sinful and contrary to the law of God, and punishable by it; and so it is to join with him in the theft, or to devise, or consent unto it; or to receive the stolen goods, or to hide and conceal them; or to hide the thief, or the theft, and not declare them; see Psalm 50:18 . Such an one hateth his own soul ; that is, he is not careful of it, he is not concerned for its... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:25

The fear of man bringeth a snare ,.... Either that which is subjectively in man; not a divine fear, or the fear of God, that grace which is put into the heart, for that leads to no snare, but tends to life; but a human fear, a servile one, a distrust of the power and providence, grace and goodness, of God, which has torment in it; which brings into bondage, and into many distresses and difficulties, and is opposed to trust in the Lord: or objectively, which has man for its object; a fear of... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 29:22

An angry man stirreth up strife - His spirit begets its like wherever he goes. And a furious man aboundeth in transgression - His furious spirit is always carrying him into extremes, and each of these is a transgression. read more
