箴言 10:11-12 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 10:12

The cloak of charity One of the devices of the parallelism or rhythm of ideas, which is the general characteristic of Hebrew poetry, is the alternative treatment of the same thought from two opposite points of view—from positive and negative poles. The value of some good thing is emphasized by contrasting it with the repulsive nature of its contrary, as Venetian ladies tried to appear the more fair by having negro pages to attend them. Thus the beautiful work of love, in covering of sins,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 10:12

The conquest of love "Love covereth all sins." It does this in that— I. IT CARRIES THE WEIGHT OF MANY SHORTCOMINGS . 1 . On the one band, many proprieties will not atone for the absence of love.

Proverbs 10:12. Hatred stirreth up strife Upon every slight occasion, by filling men’s minds with suspicions and surmises, whereby they imagine faults where there are none, and aggravate every small offence; but love covereth all sins Either doth not severely observe, or willingly forgives and forgets the injuries and offences of others, and so prevents contention and mischief. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 10:1-32

10:1-22:16PROVERBS OF SOLOMONThe proverbs in this section are usually written in a simple two-line form, each proverb usually being equal to one verse in our Bible. Although the editor of the book has in parts brought together proverbs dealing with a similar subject or principle, each proverb must be considered by itself.Clearly there is not enough space in a commentary of this size to explain each separate proverb. Readers will gain most benefit from Proverbs by reading it over a period (for... read more

"Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions.""James 5:30,1 Peter 4:8 are connected with this verse by the word `covers.'"[14] These are not direct quotations, but both passages stress the same thought. Love indeed covers a multitude of transgressions. read more
