箴言 13:23-25 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 13:23

Much food is in the tillage (tilled ground) of the poor ( Proverbs 12:11 ). The word rendered "tillage" ( nir ) means ground worked for the first time, and therefore that on which much labour is bestowed. Hence the Vulgate rightly renders, novalibus. It occurs in Jeremiah 4:3 and Hosea 10:12 , where our version has "fallow ground." The poor, but righteous man, who industriously cultivates his little plot of ground, secures a good return, and is happy in eating the labour of his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 13:24

He that spareth his rod hateth his son. Correction of children is a great point with our author (see Proverbs 19:18 ; Proverbs 22:15 ; Proverbs 23:13 , etc.; Proverbs 29:15 , Proverbs 29:17 ). So Ecclesiasticus 30:1, "He that loveth his son causeth him oft to feel the rod, that he may have joy of him in the end." Dukes, "Gold must be beaten, and a boy needs blows" ('Rabbin. Blumenlese,' 71). Chasteneth him betimes ; literally, early in the morning ( Proverbs 1:28 ; Proverbs... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 13:24

Sparing the rod The primitive rigour of the Book of Proverbs is repudiated by modern manners. Not only in domestic training, but even in criminal law, people reject the old harsh methods, and endeavour to substitute milder means of correction. no doubt there was much that was more than rough, even brutal, in the discipline of our forefathers. The relation between father and child was too often lacking in sympathy through the undue exercise of parental authority, and society generally was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 13:24

Parental correction Few proverbs "come home" to us like those which affect the daily government of our household. They make their appeal to the human heart, to universal experience. I. THE PARENTAL INSTINCT . 1 . This is, to let the child have his way; to give him the gratification be desires, to find a present pleasure in his momentary happiness. 2 . This is, to spare him suffering. No parent can hear his child cry without suffering himself (herself). Our instinct is to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 13:25

The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul (comp. Proverbs 10:3 ; Psalms 34:10 ). The good man has always enough to satisfy his wants, because he is temperate, and his substance has the blessing of God. "The chief thing for life," says Siracides (Ec Proverbs 29:21 ), "is water, and bread, and clothing, and a house to cover shame." The belly of the wicked shall want. The wicked are punished by penury and desires never satisfied. These different results are providentially... read more

Proverbs 13:23. Much food is in the tillage of the poor A poor man many times, through God’s blessing upon his endeavours, makes a plentiful provision for himself and family out of a few acres of land, which he manages judiciously and honestly; but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment There are some whose far larger estates are wasted for want of skill, care, industry, and the divine blessing upon their labours.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 13:1-25

Satisfaction amid life’s hardships (13:1-25)Parental advice is one of the benefits of life. Those who habitually ignore it will develop an attitude of scorning all opinions except their own (13:1). Good words bring a reward, but treacherous words can result in violence. Discipline in speech is necessary, because rash words lead to disaster (2-3). Discipline is necessary also in work and behaviour, otherwise a person’s life may end in ruin. Security is found in honesty (4-6).The poor might at... read more
