箴言 3:33-35 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 3:27-35

True wisdom consists in the due discharge of our duty towards man, as well as towards God, in honesty as well as piety, and therefore we have here divers excellent precepts of wisdom which relate to our neighbour. I. We must render to all their due, both in justice and charity, and not delay to do it (Prov. 3:27, 28): ?Withhold not good from those to whom it is due (either for want of love to them or through too much love to thy money) when it is in the power of thy hand to do it, for, if it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 3:33

The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked ,.... The wicked man, being a transgressor of the law, is under the curse of it; and all that he has, his house, his substance, his very blessings are curses; see Malachi 2:2 ; he is accursed amidst his greatest affluence, and sometimes from a plentiful estate is reduced to penury and want: and Aben Ezra interprets it, "the curse of want"; and the Vulgate Latin version is, "want from the Lord is", &c.; but he blesseth the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 3:34

Surely he scorneth the scorners ,.... That make a mock at sin, a jest of religion, that scoff at the doctrines of the Gospel and the professors of it; these the Lord looks upon, laughs at, and has them in derision. The Greek version and two apostles render it, "he resisteth the proud", 1 Peter 5:5 . Such who are haughty and arrogant, that exalt themselves and despise others; as those of a pharisaical spirit are and do, are abhorred and despised by the Lord; he sets himself against them, is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 3:35

The wise shall inherit glory ,.... The wise are the same with the just and lowly before mentioned, to whom God gives grace, and to these he gives glory. The "wise" are such who are so, not in a natural, civil, or notional sense, or that are wise in the things of nature, in civil affairs and in speculative matters of religion; but in a spiritual sense, who are wise unto salvation; who know themselves, the sinfulness of their nature, their inability to do that which is good, and their want of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:33

The curse of the Lord - No godly people meet in such a house; nor is God ever an inmate there. But he blesseth the habitation of the just - He considers it as his own temple. There he is worshipped in spirit and in truth; and hence God makes it his dwelling-place. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:34

Surely he scorneth the scorners; but he giveth grace unto the lowly - The Septuagint has Κυριος ὑπερηφανοις αντιτασσεται, ταπεινοις δε διδωσι χαριν . The Lord resisteth the proud; but giveth grace to the humble. These words are quoted by St. Peter, 1 Peter 5:5 , and by St. James, James 4:6 , just as they stand in the Septuagint, with the change of ὁ Θεος , God, for Κυριος , the Lord. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:35

The wise - The person who follows the dictates of wisdom, as mentioned above, shall inherit glory; because, being one of the heavenly family, a child of God, he has thereby heaven for his inheritance; but fools, such as those mentioned chapters 1 and 2, shall have ignominy for their exaltation. Many such fools as Solomon speaks of are exalted to the gibbet and gallows. The way to prevent this and the like evils, is to attend to the voice of wisdom. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 3:27-35

6. Sixth admonitory discourse. In this discourse the teacher still carries on his object, which is to demonstrate the conditions upon which true wisdom and happiness are to be attained. The discourse differs from the preceding in consisting of detached proverbs, and may be divided into two main sections—the first ( Proverbs 3:27-30 ) enjoining benevolence, that love to one's neighbour which is the fulfilling of the Law; the second warning against emulating the oppressor and associating... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 3:32-35

The discernment of Jehovah This is a leading thought of the Old Testament. In ordinary life, in civilized times, the character of individuals is concealed from us by the intermixtures of society and the complexity of its interests. Even in village life it is difficult to classify people; but God distinguishes in— I. HIS VIEW OF INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER . 1 . He abominates the perverse, the crooked, twisted, deceitful character. All in the spirit must be compared with that... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 3:33

The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked. From Proverbs 3:33 to the end of the discourse the contrast is continued between the condition of the wicked and the just, the scornful and the lowly, the wise and the fools. In the verse before us a further reason is given why the prosperity of the wicked is not enviable. The curse of Jehovah dwells in and rests upon his house. The curse ; m'erah, from arav, "to curse." This word only occurs five times in the Old Testament once in... read more
