Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 22:17-18

Proverbs 22:17-18. Bow down thine ear, &c. From the beginning of the tenth chapter to this place, the instructions of wisdom are delivered in short sentences, and proverbs properly so called; which have seldom any connection one with another, or such as is not easily discerned: but here another form of speech begins and continues unto chap. 25.; and therefore it may not unfitly be called, The Second Part of the Book of Proverbs. In this part we have various exhortations and precepts,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 22:17-29

22:17-24:34 SAYINGS OF THE WISEThe correct use of proverbs (22:17-29)In this section the sayings are longer and often cover several verses, whereas in the previous section each verse was usually a separate proverb. The section begins with an appeal to the disciples to listen carefully to the instruction, to memorize it and to put it to practical use. It will strengthen their trust in God and give them the ability to answer correctly anyone who questions them concerning what is right and true... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 22:17

"Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, And apply thy heart unto my knowledge. For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee. If they be established together upon thy lips. That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee."There is a break here; and from this Proverbs 22:17 through the end of Proverbs 24, we have the words of the wise men. Some call these, "The Thirty Words" (consisting of two verses each);[20] but other words of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 22:17-21

A. Introduction to the 30 Sayings 22:17-21As in chapters 1-9, the writer began this section of the book with an exhortation to hear and give heed to the words of wisdom that follow. The reason the writer gave the following proverbs introduces the 30 sayings."This extended introduction reminds us that the wise sayings were not curiosity pieces; they were revelation, and revelation demands a response." [Note: Ross, p. 1065.] First, there is a call (Proverbs 22:17) followed by three motivations: a... read more

III. COLLECTION 3: THIRTY SAYINGS OF THE WISE 22:17-24:22A third major section of the Book of Proverbs begins with Proverbs 22:17. This is clear from several indicators. The proverbs lengthen out again from the typical one-verse couplet that characterizes Proverbs 10:1 to Proverbs 22:16 (cf. chs. 1-9). Also, the phrase "my son" appears again, as in chapters 1-9. Third, we read in Proverbs 22:20 (in the Hebrew text) that a group of 30 sayings will follow. The NASB translators rendered this... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 22:17-29

These proverbs are very unlike the preceding in tone, and style. The author’s own personality is brought distinctly into view (Proverbs 22:17-21; Proverbs 23:15); he had a high opinion of the value of his maxims; he arranges them in strophes, not in couplets.18. Fitted] RV ’established together,’ i.e. ready (1 Peter 3:15). 20. For excellent things RM suggests ’heretofore.’ Perhaps we should read ’triply’: cp. Hosea 8:12 RV. 21.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Proverbs 22:17

4.AN INTRODUCTION, CONTAINING AN EXHORTATION TO “HEAR THE WORDS OF THE WISE,” SERVING AS A HEADING TO Proverbs 22:22 to Proverbs 24:22 (Proverbs 22:17-21).(17) Hear the words of the wise.—Comp. chap 1:6. As “wise” is in the plural number, it would seem as if the following section contained proverbs written by others than Solomon, though they may have been collected by him. (Comp.
