Provérbios 27:22-27 NVIPT

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 27:24

For riches are not for ever - All other kinds of property are very transitory. Money and the highest civil honors are but for a short season. Flocks and herds, properly attended to, may be multiplied and continued from generation to generation. The crown itself is not naturally so permanent. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 27:25

The hay appeareth - Take care that this be timeously mown, carefully dried and safely ricked or housed. And when the tender grass and the proper herbs appear in the mountains in the spring, then send forth the lambs, the young of the flock, that they may get suitable pasturage, without too much impoverishing the home fields; for by the sale of the lambs and goats, the price of the field is paid - all the landlord's demands are discharged. Either a certain number of lambs, goats, and other... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 27:27

Goats' milk enough for thy food - ללחמך lelachmecha , "to thy bread;" for they ate the bread and supped the milk to assist mastication, and help deglutition. And it seems that bread, with goats' milk, was the general article of food for the master and his family; and for the servant maids who assisted in the household work, and performed the operations required in the dairy. The reader who wishes to see these maxims detailed and illustrated at large, may consult the writers De Re... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:17-22

Wisdom for self and for others I. THE BENEFIT OF INTELLIGENT SOCIETY . ( Proverbs 27:17 , Proverbs 27:19 .) 1 . The collision of mind with mind elicits truth , strikes out flashes of new perception . A man may grow wiser by an hour's discourse than by a day's meditation. "Speech is like embroidered cloth opened and put abroad," said the mistochs to the King of Persia. In the collision of minds the man brings his own thoughts to light, and whets his wits against a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:22

Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle. "To bray" is to pound or beat small. "Wheat," רִיפוֹת , riphoth (only in 2 Samuel 17:19 ), "bruised corn." Vulgate, In pila quasi ptisanas (barley groats) feriente ; Aquila and Theodotion, ἐν μέσῳ ἐμπτισσομένων "In the midst of grains of corn being pounded." The LXX ; reading, differently, has, "Though thou scourge a fool, disgracing him ( ἐν μεσῳ συνεδρίου ) in the midst of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:23

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks. "State;" פנִים ( panim ) ; vultum , Vulgate; the face, look, appearance. The LXX . has ψυχάς , which may perhaps mean "the number"—a necessary precaution when the sheep wandered on the downs and mountains, and had to be collected in the evening and folded. These precepts are naturally applied to all rulers, and especially to Christian pastors who have the oversight of the flock of Christ ( 1 Peter 5:2-4 ). Ecclesiastes 7:22 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:23-27

A mashal ode in praise of a pastoral and agricultural life. The moralist evidently desires to recall his countrymen from the luxury of cities and the temptations of money making to the simple ways of the patriarchs and the pleasures of country pursuits—which are the best foundation of enduring prosperity. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:23-27

The man diligent in his business I. ECONOMY AND FORESIGHT . ( Proverbs 27:23-25 .) He looks after the outgoings of his farm, well aware that there is in all things constant waste, that even the royal crown is a perishable thing. All knowledge is useful, and prudence applies through the whole scale of our being. Let the man, "if he have hands, handle; if eyes, measure and discriminate; let him accept and hive every fact of chemistry, natural history, and economy; the more he has,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:23-27

(and Proverbs 27:8 ) A commendation of diligence It is likely enough that Solomon, oppressed with the burdens and vexations, with the difficulties and dangers, of the throne, looked longingly toward those pastoral scenes which he here describes. But, keen and shrewd man that he was, he must have known that contentment does not always find a home in the homestead, and that there may be as much disquietude of heart in the fields of the beautiful country as there is in the streets of the... read more
