箴言 29:11-13 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 29:11

A fool uttereth all his mind; his spirit ; רוּחוֹ , i . e . "his anger;" θυμόν , Septuagint (comp. Proverbs 16:32 ). The wording of the second hemistich confirms this rendering. A fool pours out his wrath, restrained by no consideration. It is a wise maxim that says, "Command your temper, lest it command you;" and again, "When passion enters in at the foregate, wisdom goes out at the postern." So we have the word attributed to Evenus Parius— πολλάκις ἀνθρώπων ὀργὴ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 29:11

(and see Proverbs 12:16 ; Proverbs 14:33 ) The time to be silent There is a time to keep silence as well as a time to speak (see Ecclesiastes 3:7 ). According to our individual temperament we need the one injunction or the other. There are few, however, of either sex or of any disposition who do not need to be urged to guard the door of the lip. This is one of those things in which we all offend in our time and in our way. Impatience most frequently leads to transgression; but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 29:12

All his servants are wicked. The ruler is willing to be deceived, and does not care to hear the truth, so his servants flatter and lie to him, and the whole atmosphere is charged with unreality and deceit. Qualis rex, talis grex . Ecclesiastes 10:2 , "As the judge of the people is himself, so are his officers; and what manner of man the ruler of the city is, such are all that dwell therein." Claudian, ' IV . Cons. Hon.,' 299— " Componitur orbis Regis ad exemplum: nec sic... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 29:12-17

Government in truth and equity I. THERE MUST BE THE FORCE OF EXAMPLE . ( Proverbs 29:12 .) Especially in regard to truthfulness. Nothing is more easily caught than an example of untruthfulness, evasion, hypocrisy. Servants' manners reflect their masters' characters. The more conspicuous the station, the further the influence of the example extends. II. THERE MUST BE RESPECT TO THE RULER AND JUDGE OF ALL . ( Proverbs 29:13 .) He is no Respecter of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 29:13

A variation of Proverbs 22:2 . The deceitful man. This makes no contrast with the poor. "The man of oppressions" ( tekakim ) is the usurer, from whom the poor suffer most wrong and cruelty. The needy man and the rich lender are thrown together in social life. St. Jerome calls them pauper et creditor . Septuagint, "When the creditor and debtor meet together, the Lord maketh inspection ( ἐπσκοπὴν ) of both." The Lord lighteneth both their eyes. Both rich and poor, the... read more

Proverbs 29:11-12. A fool uttereth all his mind All at once, unnecessarily, unseasonably, without reservation or caution; but a wise man keepeth it in till afterward Till he have a fit occasion to express it. If a ruler hearken to lies Delight in flatteries or calumnies, or any lying words, or deceitful and wicked practices; all his servants are wicked Because, perhaps, he chooseth only such for his service: or, rather, because they are either corrupted by his example, or engaged by... read more

Proverbs 29:13. The poor and the deceitful man Hebrew, אישׁ תככים , the man of deceits, or of usuries; that is, who hath enriched himself by such practices; meet together Converse together, and one needeth the other; the Lord lighteneth both their eyes Either their bodily eyes, namely, with the light of the sun, which promiscuously shines upon both; or the eyes of their minds, with the light of reason, which he indifferently gives them; and therefore the one should not envy or... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:1-27

Authority with justice (29:1-27)Many themes that we have already met in Proverbs are repeated in this section: stubbornness, good and bad government, family values, prostitution, justice, flattery, cunning and concern for the poor (29:1-7). Scoffers are more than just fools; they are trouble-makers. They are not open to reason and cannot control their temper (8-11).Unjust rulers oppress innocent citizens, and the rich persecute the poor, but good and bad alike receive the blessings that God... read more
