CHAPTER 13 The Contrast: Advantage and Disadvantage The contrast in Proverbs concerning the righteous and the wicked is continued in this chapter, showing mostly the advantage of the righteous, illustrating a statement found in the prophet Isaiah: “Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings” Isaiah 3:10 ). Then the contrast: “Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for the reward of his hands shall be given him” Proverbs 13:11... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Proverbs 13:1-25

Some regard the division now entered upon as the original nucleus of the whole collection of proverbs (see the first sentence of verse one). The division extends really to the close of chapter 22, and contains “maxims, precepts and admonitions with respect to the most diverse relations of life.” In so much of it as is covered by the present lesson we have a contrast “between the godly and the ungodly, and their respective lots in life.” We have this contrast set before us, first in general... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 13:21-25

Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want. Lord, impress all thy ponderous truths upon... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 13:25

REFLECTIONS READER! amidst many sweet and blessed things which this chapter furnisheth for improvement in reflection, I feel my mind particularly led to contemplate yet more the grace of our Jesus, in his wonderful condescension as here expressed, in making himself poor, when possessed of all the riches of heaven and earth. There is somewhat in this view of Christ, extremely engaging; and when connected with that view, we consider the cause and design of it, surely it holdeth out one of the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 13:25

v. 25. The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul, the Lord granting him enough to satisfy all his needs; but the belly of the wicked shall want, not only because the Lord often punishes their wickedness with a lack of the necessities of life, but because their enjoyment of them is often not attended with true happiness. read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Proverbs 13:1-25

γ) With reference to the use of temporal good, and of the word of God as the highest goodChap. 131 A wise son hearkeneth to his father’s correction,but a scorner to no rebuke.2 By the fruit of one’s mouth doth he enjoy good,but the delight of the ungodly is violence.3 He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life,he that openeth wide his lips shall be destroyed.4 The sluggard desireth, but without the satisfying of his desire,but the desire of the diligent is abundantly... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 13:1-25

Verse Proverbs 13:2. Compare this with Proverbs 12:14. As the words of a good man benefit himself as well as others, so the evil deeds of transgressors react upon themselves. Verse Proverbs 13:5. The contrast here between the wicked and the righteous is intense, in that concerning the righteous man the proverb simply states he hateth lying; concerning the wicked it declares that he becomes loathsome. That is to say, a righteous man keeping himself separate from wickedness hates lying. An evil... read more
