Provérbios 1:24-27 NVIPT

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 1:24-30

Left to their doom Broad and encouraging as are the promises of Divine grace, if we forget the darker facts of life we shall be deluded into a false security; for nothing could be more unreasonable than to suppose that the mercy of God takes no account of moral considerations. Legally our sovereign is vested with an unfettered right of pardoning every criminal, but principles of justice and public order put great restraints upon the exercise of such a right. Bald representations of prayer... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 1:24-33

The Divine ultimatum There is something which is fearful and appalling in these verses. We are ready to tremble as we read them. We are ready to exclaim, "How far may human perversity, and Divine retribution gel" With hushed voice, with subdued spirit, as those before whose eyes the lightnings of heaven are flashing, we consider the significance of the words. But first we see— I. THAT GOD MAKES MANY APPEALS TO THE HUMAN SOUL . He calls, and we refuse; he stretches out... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 1:25

Ye have set at nought; rather, rejected (Umbreit, Ewald, et alii ) . The Authorized Version rendering here is equivocal, inasmuch as it is capable of meaning "despised," whereas פְרַע ( para ) signifies "to let loose," "to let go" (cf. the German fahren lassen ) , and hence "to overlook, or reject." Its force is fairly represented in the LXX ; ἀκύρους ἐποιεῖτε ἐμὰς βουλὰς , "Ye rendered my counsel of no effect." Counsel ( עֵצָה , etsah ); i.e. advice, in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 1:26

I also will laugh at your calamity; or, more accurately, in the time of your calamity ; as in the Vulgate, in interitu vestro ridebo. The preposition prefixed to the substantive b ' eyd ' chem ( בְּאֵידְכֵם ) refers to the time, or state, or condition. In the time of their calamity wisdom will exult or rejoice. The LXX ; τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ ἀπλείᾳ ἐπιγελάσομαι , however, favours the rendering of the Authorized Version. Calamity ( אֵיד , eyd ) is heavy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 1:27

When your fear cometh as desolation. The imagery in this verse is borrowed from nature—from the tempest and whirlwind, which, in their impetuous fury, involve all in irretrievable ruin. The two leading ideas here in the writer's mind are calamity and fear. These—their fear, that which causes their fear; and their destruction, i.e. calamity—both representing Wisdom's, and so God's, judgment, will come on sinners as a wasting tempest and sweeping hurricane. The terror and devastation caused... read more

Proverbs 1:24-28. Because I have called, &c. By my ministers, my judgments, the motions of my Spirit, and your own consciences; and ye refused To obey my call; I have stretched out my hand Offering mercy and grace to you, and earnestly inviting you to accept of them; and no man regarded Few or none complied with my will, and accepted my offers. But ye have set at naught all my counsel Have despised or made void my design of doing you good, and have disregarded my commands,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:20-33

Wisdom addresses the people (1:20-33)To help people see what he is saying about wisdom, the writer tries to give illustrations that anyone can understand. He does not discuss wisdom as an abstract principle, but pictures it as being in the form of a person (i.e. personified). He speaks of wisdom as if it were a dignified and well respected woman who stands in the streets and market places of the town and speaks openly and plainly to those who pass by (20-21).The woman addresses her words... read more
