The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 13:22

v. 22. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children, his estate being transmitted to them complete, as a result of God's blessing upon him; and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just, the latter eventually becoming the possessor of that which the sinner squanders. 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 13:1-25

A Collection Of Solomon’s Proverbs (Proverbs 10:1 to Proverbs 29:27 ). Solomon’s presentation of The Book of Proverbs has followed the pattern of much Wisdom literature. This commenced with the initial heading detailing the details of the author and his purpose in writing (Proverbs 1:1-7), continued with a Prologue which laid the foundation for what was to follow (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18), and was then followed by the body of the work introduced by one or more subheadings. In Solomon’s... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 13:20-25

Walking With The Wise Will Result In Prosperity And A Well-knit And Integrated Family, Whilst Being A Fool Is A Prelude To Disaster (Proverbs 13:20 to Proverbs 14:1 ). We have in this subsection a call to follow wisdom and be wise (Proverbs 13:20), righteous Proverbs 13:21; Proverbs 13:25) and good (Proverbs 13:22). He who does so will be recompensed with good (Proverbs 13:21); will find himself in a position to leave his descendants an inheritance (Proverbs 13:22); will properly discipline... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 13:1-25

Proverbs 13. This chapter has little that is fresh and no new groups of proverbs. We have a well-known reference to the weariness of waiting for a hope that comes not ( Proverbs 13:12 and Proverbs 13:19 a). There is a new proverb relating to the faithfulness of messengers, perhaps with reference to diplomatic missions. Proverbs 13:5 . is loathsome: render “ behaves vilely.” Proverbs 13:7 . Both AV and RV obscure the point of the aphorism, which contrasts two equally obnoxious social shams.... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 13:22

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 13:22AS INHERITANCE INCORRUPTIBLEI. A good man has always spiritual inheritance to leave his children. He has always his own holy character and example. And this is often of great service to them in a material point of view. Men who have obtained fame in the world leave their children the inheritance of a famous name, which is often a fortune in itself. The son or daughter of a famous man can command positions of worldly advantage which are closed against the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 13:1-25

Chapter 13In the thirteenth chapter of Proverbs, there is a continuation of the contrasting of the righteous with the wicked, the wise and the scorner, the transgressor and the good man.A wise son hears his father's instruction: but a scorner does not listen to rebuke. A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. He that keeps his mouth keeps his life: but he that opens wide his lips shall have destruction. The soul of the sluggard... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 13:1-25

Proverbs 13:1 . A wise son heareth his father’s instruction. This maxim is in substance often repeated, it being of the last importance to hear the wisdom of a father proceeding from so much love, and sanctioned by long experience. And he who hearkens to a wise father is here called a wise son; while he who rejects paternal counsel altogether is branded with the name of a scorner. Proverbs 13:2 . Transgressors shall eat violence. The Septuagint, “Shall perish before their time,” or die... read more
