The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 14:14

The backslider in heart —he who turns away from God ( Psalms 44:18 )— shall be filled with his own ways, shall reap the fruits of his evil doings ( Proverbs 1:31 ; Proverbs 12:14 ). Matthew 6:2 , "Verily I say unto you, they have their reward." And a good man shall be satisfied from himself. There is no verb expressed in this clause, "shall be satisfied" being supplied by our translators. Delitzsch and others read, "and a good man from his own deeds." It is simpler to repeat the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 14:13

Proverbs 14:13. Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful Do not think that every one that laughs is happy, or that profuse and immoderate joy is true pleasure, for the outward signs of it are often mixed with, or end in, real sadness: nay, such is the vanity of this present life, that there is no joy without a mixture of sorrow, which often immediately follows upon it. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 14:14

Proverbs 14:14. The backslider in heart He who departs from God, although but inwardly; shall be filled with his own ways With the fruit of his ways, namely, the punishment of his sins; and a good man shall be satisfied from himself From the pious temper of his own heart, which cleaves to the Lord, and from the holy and righteous course of his life, he shall receive unspeakable comfort, both in this world and in the next. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 14:1-35

Hidden feelings and motives (14:1-35)Wisdom builds, but folly destroys. People’s actions reveal their attitude to God (14:1-2). The wisdom of their speech and their commitment to hard work are among the things that determine whether they progress or come to ruin (3-5). Those who think they know everything can never become truly wise and therefore can never have right discernment in the moral issues of life (6-8).Good people may prosper and evil people may suffer loss, but outward appearances do... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 14:13

"Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; And the end of mirth is heaviness.""Like many other Proverbs in our English version, this one cannot be taken as universally true. The first clause is often rendered, and perhaps should be, "Even in laughter the heart may sorrowful."[13] "There are two kinds of laughter and mirth. There is an innocent and proper mirth; and there is an guilty and sinful mirth."[14] There is also sometimes a heavy and disconsolate heart that disguises its sorrow by a show... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 14:14

"The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways; And a good man shall be satisfied from himself.""A fool shall be filled with his own ways, and the good man shall be above him."[15] Cook wrote concerning the second clause here that, "The words `satisfied from himself' are not in the original (Hebrew)," rendering the passage, "He who falls away from God in his heart shall be filled with his own ways; and the good man shall be filled with that which belongs to him."[16] read more
