箴言 2:20-21 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 2:21

For the upright shall dwell in the land. Much the same language is met with in Psalms 37:29 , "The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein foreverse" It is the secure and peaceful dwelling in the land which is intended (cf. Proverbs 10:30 ). To dwell in the land was always put forward as the reward of obedience to God's commandments (see Exodus 20:12 ; Le Exodus 25:18 ; Exodus 26:5 ), and the phrase conveyed to the Hebrew mind the idea of one of the greatest, if not the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:1-22

The rewards of seeking wisdom (2:1-22)People must spare no effort in diligently searching for wisdom. At the same time they must remember that the true goal of their search is not academic achievement but spiritual growth through knowing God better (2:1-5). However, when they obtain this wisdom, they cannot claim to have achieved it by their own abilities; it is the gift of God. He rewards those who seek genuinely (6).Not only does God give wisdom to those who earnestly seek it, but he also... read more

HE WILL RECEIVE A SPECIAL INHERITANCE"That thou mayest walk in the way of good men,And keep the paths of righteousness.For the upright shall dwell in the land,And the perfect shall remain in it.But the wicked shall be cut off from the land,And the treacherous shall be rooted out of it."Although "the land" as used in these verses was probably understood by the Israelites as the Palestine, that is, "The Promised Land," it should be remembered that "The Promised Land" itself is a valid Biblical... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 2:20

Proverbs 2:20. That thou mayest walk— Or, Walk thou therefore. REFLECTIONS.—Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore by all means to be sought after. 1. The way prescribed is threefold. (1.) Serious attention to, and meditation upon, the word of God. (2.) Fervent and importunate prayer, the best guide to the knowledge of the oracles of God. (3.) The diligent use of every appointed means, being as eager in the search as those whose hearts are set upon riches are in discovering the golden mines... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 2:10-22

The fruit of moral integrity 2:10-22Wisdom safeguards a person morally. The first part of this pericope shows how God protects the wise (Proverbs 2:10-11; cf. Proverbs 2:7-8). The last part presents the temptations one can overcome as he or she seeks wisdom (Proverbs 2:12-19). When a person submits himself or herself to God and gains wisdom, the ways of the wicked will lose some of their attractiveness. The wise person will see that the adventuress who promises thrills is offering something she... read more
