Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 17:11

Proverbs 17:11. An evil man seeketh only rebellion Seeketh nothing but his own will; and being so refractory that he hath shaken off all reverence for God and his governors, he is wholly bent upon mischief, and cannot be reclaimed; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him Some dreadful judgment or other, as a messenger from God; angels, God’s messengers, shall be employed as ministers of justice against him, Psalms 78:49. Satan, the angel of death, and the messengers of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 17:12

Proverbs 17:12. Let a bear robbed of her whelps When she is most cruel and fierce; meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly That is, in the heat of his lust or passion, because the danger is greater, all things considered, and more unavoidable. A man may more easily stop, escape from, or guard against, an enraged bear than an outrageous man. It is observed by Bochart, ( de Animal Sacr., lib. 3. cap. 9,) that the female bear is more fierce than the male; that she is more fierce than... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 17:1-28

Friends and fools (17:1-28)A peaceful family life, no matter how simple, is a great blessing, but a son may miss out on his family inheritance through his own folly (17:1-2). God’s dealings with his people are always for a good purpose, to make them better than they were before (3). To listen to evil talk is as bad as to speak evil oneself; to take pleasure in another’s troubles is as bad as to cause those troubles (4-5).Other proverbs concern the appreciation that the old and the young should... read more

James Burton Coffman

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 17:9

"He that covereth a transgression seeks love; But he that harpeth on a matter separateth chief friends."It is the glory of a righteous person not to judge and criticize others; and it is always a mark of forbearance and kindness to ignore sins and mistakes that appear in the lives of others, especially, in this context, those of a close friend or associate. "He that harpeth on a matter" refers to the mention over and over again of a close friend's alleged error. Such action is extremely... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 17:10

"A rebuke entereth deeper into one that hath understanding Than a hundred stripes into a fool.""A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool."[16] Deane pointed out that, "The antithesis is put more forcibly in the Septuagint."[17] "A threat breaks the heart of a wise man; but a fool, though scourged, understands not."[18] read more
