箴言 19:5-6 RCUVTS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Proverbs 19:1-29

Man's Chief Business, Etc. Proverbs 19:0 It might be supposed that by the term "wisdom" some form of intellectual life and energy was signified; then the passage would read, He that is of capacious and brilliant mind, equal to the handling of any difficult mental question, is one who loveth his own soul. That, however, is not the meaning of the word "wisdom." In this connection we are to understand by "wisdom" the heart or the moral nature, and then the passage will read, He that keepeth his... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 19:1-9

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD. Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour. A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 19:5

v. 5. A false witness shall not be unpunished, his lies being recorded in God's records, and he that speaketh lies, constantly breathing them out, shall not escape, an emphatic way of saying that he shall surely perish. read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 19:6

v. 6. Many will intreat the favor of the prince, literally, "stroke his face," flatter him; and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts, with the expectation of sharing in his generosity. These facts are stated as in agreement with men's conduct everywhere and do not imply the approval of the Lord. read more

δ) Admonition to humility, mildness, and gentlenessChap. 191 Better is the poor that walketh in his integritythan he that is perverse in speech and is a fool.2 Where the soul hath no knowledge there likewise is no good,and he that is of a hasty foot goeth astray.3 The foolishness of man ruineth his way,yet against Jehovah is his heart angry.4 Wealth maketh many friends,but the poor is parted from his friend.5 A false witness shall not go unpunished,and he that speaketh lies... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 19:1-29

Verse Proverbs 19:7. This is the only case in this first collection of proverbs in which we find three clauses. It is certainly most likely that the third clause is incomplete. Something has been lost. If this be not so, then the proverb which sets forth the extremely pitiable condition of the poor ends by declaring that to him the promises of friends are not fulfilled. Verse Proverbs 19:16. Here "he that is careless of his ways" simply means, of course, "he that keepeth not the commandment."... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 19:1-29

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

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 19:1-29

Proverbs 19. A shrewd turn of sarcasm in Proverbs 19:3 suggests the attitude of practical wisdom towards that questioning of the moral government of the world which we find in Job. Proverbs 19:1 . fool: read “ rich,” as in Proverbs 28:6. Proverbs 19:2 a. Both RV and RVm are unsound grammatically. The lit. rendering shows that the clause is defective, “ Also without knowledge of the soul . . . is not good.” Some verb expressing action is required. Proverbs 19:2 b. sinneth: read mg. The idea... read more

Shall not be unpunished; though he escape the observation and punishment of men, yet he shall not avoid the judgment of God. That speaketh lies; that accustometh himself to lying, either in judgment or in common conversation. read more
