箴言 14:24 RCUVSS

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 14:21-35

He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good. In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly. A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 14:24

v. 24. The crown of the wise is their riches, their possessions, gained by dint of hard work, serve to honor them; but the foolishness of fools is folly, no matter how much show and pomp he makes, how anxiously be strives to offer a magnificent appearance. read more

(δ) With reference to the relation between the wise and the foolish, the rich and the poor, masters and servantsChap. 141 Woman’s wisdom buildeth her house,but folly teareth it down with its own hands.2 He that walketh uprightly feareth Jehovah,but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his pride,but the lips of the wise preserve them.4 Where there are no oxen the crib is clean,but much increase is by the strength of the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 14:1-35

Verse Proverbs 14:7. The sense of this proverb is entirely altered in the Revision. The Authorized reading would make it mean that if a man is perceived to be devoid of knowledge he should be abandoned. The Revised urges attention to the foolish man in order that it may be known that he lacks knowledge. Verse Proverbs 14:9. This proverb is decidedly ambiguous. It may mean that foolish men despise g d t in the sense of holding in contempt the guilty, whereas upright men have grace or favor or... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 14:1-35

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 14:17-25

The Triumph Of Truth Over Falsehood And Of Righteousness Over Unrighteousness (Proverbs 14:17-25 ). The thought of truth against falsehood undergirds this subsection. It commences with the fact that fools deal foolishly and devise evil schemes, and ends with the thought that they even, by their lies, destroy the reliability of the courts. But they do not in the end succeed. For they are hated and in the end have to bow down to the good. They are in contrast with the true. The shrewd are... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 14:1-35

Proverbs 14. In this, as in each of the preceding chapters in this section, aphorisms on the moral government of the world come first in number. There are rather more in this chapter of a political and social character, while a group that might be called psychological appears for the first time ( e.g. Proverbs 14:10; Proverbs 14:13, and in part Proverbs 14:30). The contrast between wisdom and folly, simplicity and prudence, also yields a fairly numerous group. Proverbs 14:1 . MT cannot be... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 14:24

The crown of the wise is their riches; they are a singular advantage and ornament to them, partly as they make their wisdom more regarded, when the poor man’s wisdom is despised, Ecclesiastes 9:16; and partly as they give a man great opportunity to discover and exercise his wisdom or virtue by laying out his riches to the honour and service of God, and to the great and manifold good of the world; which also highly tends to his own glory and happiness. But the foolishness of fools is folly; but... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 14:24

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 14:24. Or, “It is a crown to the wise when they are rich, but the folly of fools remains folly” (Delitzsch). MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 14:24WEALTH WITH AND WITHOUT WISDOMI. Both a wise man and a fool may attain to wealth. The intellectually wise, and the man who lacks mental ability, may both possess great riches. There are many who have vast estates and no more wisdom to manage them than an infant, and there are those whose ability is equal to their wealth and... read more
