Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 17:1-28

Proverbs Of Solomon Part 2 (Proverbs 15:22 to Proverbs 22:16 ). At this point there is a sudden switch from proverbs which contrast one thing with another, which have been predominant since Proverbs 10:1, to proverbs where the second clause adds something to the first. Whilst we still find some contrasting proverbs, especially at the beginning, they are not so common. This may suggest a deliberate intention by Solomon to separate his proverbs into two parts. Furthermore such a change at this... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 17:8-16

The Follies Of The Fool (Proverbs 17:8-16 ). The previous subsection ended with reference to the nabal (fool), and this now leads on to consideration of the activities of fools (kesil) (Proverbs 17:21 virtually equates the two). In this subsection we find an emphasis on the activities of ‘the fool’ (Proverbs 17:10; Proverbs 17:12; Proverbs 17:16) and his equivalent. Basically he interferes with the stability and smooth running of society. He thinks that he can buy men’s favour (Proverbs... read more

Proverbs 17. Fresh points are the rise of the able and clever slave to a place in the family ( Proverbs 17:2), the practice of bribes ( Proverbs 17:8; Proverbs 17:23), the value of adversity as a test of friendship ( Proverbs 17:17): also the subject of suretyship, dealt with in Proverbs 6:1-Deuteronomy :, is resumed ( Proverbs 17:18).

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 17:11-13

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 17:11. Many commentators translate the first clause “Rebellion,” or “a rebel” seeketh only after evil, i.e., brings retribution upon himself. Proverbs 17:12. Miller translates the latter clause “but not a fool his folly.” (See his comment.) MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Proverbs 17:11-13PHASES OF EVILI. The main characteristic of a sinner is that he is a rebel against the moral order of the universe. “He seeketh only rebellion.” The planets in their courses describe... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 17:1-28

Chapter 17Better is a dry morsel, with quietness, than a house full of sacrifices with strife ( Proverbs 17:1 ).Now the house full of sacrifices refer to the sacrifices. It's, if in that economy the of the Judaism, if you decided that tonight you wanted to have roast leg of lamb, to butcher your lamb you'd take it down to the temple and you bring it to the priest. And you'd say, "I want to offer this as a peace offering unto God, a sacrifice." So you'd butcher the lamb and the priest would take... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 17:1-28

Proverbs 17:1 . Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith. See Proverbs 15:17. Proverbs 17:3 . The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace (or crucible) for gold. Silver ores in Mexico are worked as ores of tin in Cornwall. Lead and iron, though without apparent affinity, occur in the same masses in our limestone ranges. Lead in a state of fusion, has the lighter silver floating on the top. Cobalt and the greenish nickel are difficult to separate. The alloys of gold are found... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 17:13

Pro 17:13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. Ver. 13. Whoso rewardeth evil for good, &c. ] Ingratitude is a monster in nature, and doth therefore carry so much more detestation, as it is more odious even to themselves that have blotted out the image of God. a Some vices are such as nature smiles upon, though frowned at by divine justice; not so this. Lycurgus would make no law against it, because he thought none could be so absurd as to fall into it.... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 17:13

13. Rewardeth evil for good, etc. This probably implies that the example of ingratitude in the head of a family will be followed by his offspring, and thus be returned upon himself and his household continuously. Compare 1 Samuel 25:21; 2 Samuel 3:29; Romans 12:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:15; 1 Peter 3:9. read more
