箴言 27:25 RCUVTS

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 27:11-27

Wisdom and Humility Go Hand in Hand v. 11. My son, be wise and make my heart glad, the inspired author again addressing all his readers in the tone of fatherly admonition, that I may answer him that reproacheth me, since the wise behavior of a pupil will enable the teacher to stop the reviling of an enemy who would mock at his teaching. v. 12. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, he is able to judge the signs of the times, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on and are punished, they come... read more

b) Against vain self-praise and presumptionChap. 27(With an admonition to prudence and frugality in agriculture: Proverbs 27:23-27)1 Boast not thyself of to-morrow,for thou knowest not what a day will bring forth.2 Let another praise thee and not thine own mouth,a stranger and hot thine own lips.3 Stone is heavy and sand weighty;the fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.4 Anger is cruel and wrath is outrageous;but who can stand before jealousy ?5 Better is open... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 27:1-27

Verse Proverbs 27:5. This proverb takes for granted the need for rebuke, and by 'love that is hidden" is meant a love which fails to rebuke. Verse Proverbs 27:14. There is nothing more calculated to arouse suspicion than profuse protestations of friendship. Verses Proverbs 27:15-16. These must be read together. The first part suggests the persistence and wearisomeness of a contentious woman; the second part the inability to hinder her. Verse Proverbs 27:21. There are three interpretations... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Proverbs 27:1-27

Making the Most of Life Proverbs 27:1-27 INTRODUCTORY WORDS God has given to each of us a life freighted with many privileges and with many opportunities. There is a little verse in the New Testament which reads: "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." We need to know how to redeem every moment, and to make the best of each day, as it is passing by. We have five observations taken from the opening verses of today's chapter. 1. The brevity of life. Proverbs 27:1 tells us, "Boast not... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 27:1-27

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 27:25

The hay appeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, in their proper seasons. These things may be here mentioned, either, 1. As the matter of his diligence. Take care that thy hay and grass may be well managed, and seasonably gathered, for the use of thy cattle. Or rather, 2. As another argument and encouragement to diligence, because God invites thee to it by the plentiful provisions wherewith he hath enriched the earth for thy sake. Thou needest not compass sea and land for them, for God... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 27:23-27

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Proverbs 27:23-27MODEL FARMINGThese words were especially applicable to the Israelitish people in their early history, when every family lived upon its own domain and found all its simple wants supplied by the produce of the land and the cattle which fed upon it. This paragraph deals—I. With the duties of such a life. Solomon has several times before given exhortations to diligence in labour, but here he seems rather to enforce the necessity of diligent and... read more

He said, "Go to now, ye who say, 'Tomorrow we'll do this and that and the other.'" He said, "You should rather say, 'If the Lord wills, tomorrow we will do this, that and the other.'

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 27:1-27

Proverbs 27:2 . Let another man praise thee. A man is sometimes compelled to speak of himself. But modesty often prefers speaking in the third person; as St. John, who says, “that disciple whom Jesus loved.” St. Paul, grievously mauled by the Jews at Corinth, says, “I knew a man about fourteen years ago such an one was caught up into the third heaven.” It is a man’s works, not his tongue, which memorializes his worth. Proverbs 27:5 . Open rebuke is better than secret love. For it is... read more
