Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 1:8-36
B. Instruction for Young People 1:8-8:36The two ways (paths, worldviews) introduced in Proverbs 1:7 stretch out before the reader (cf. Matthew 7:13-14). In this section Solomon spoke to his son, guiding him into God’s way. "My son" was and is a customary way of addressing a disciple."It derives from the idea that parents are primarily responsible for moral instruction (Proverbs 4:3-4; Deuteronomy 6:7)." [Note: Ross, p. 907.] The frequent recurrence of the phrase "my son" in this part of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 1:20-33
2. Wisdom’s appeal 1:20-33This is one of several passages in Proverbs where the writer personified wisdom. Her call comes to people in the market, in the hustle and bustle of life, not in the seclusion of the home or sanctuary (cf. Proverbs 1:8). [Note: See Phyllis Trible, "Wisdom Builds a Poem: The Architecture of Proverbs 1:20-33," Journal of Biblical Literature 94 (1975):509-18.] "To whom does Wisdom speak? To three classes of sinners: the simple ones, the scorners (scoffers, mockers, NIV),... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 1:1-33
The chapter falls into three principal divisions.1-6. Title and Introduction explaining the object of the whole book, which is to instruct the inexperienced and add to the educated man’s knowledge. It is assumed that good conduct is an art which can be taught.

The method of instruction is by proverbs, figures, parables and vivid... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Proverbs 1:24
(24) Because I have called.—Wisdom’s call having been rejected, she now changes her tone from “mercy” to “judgment” (Psalms 101:1). (Comp. Romans 10:21 : “All day long I have stretched forth my hands,” &c.) read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Proverbs 1:26
(26) I also will laugh . . . I will mock.—For expressions like this, comp. Psalms 2:4; Psalms 37:13; Psalms 59:8, where the same actions are attributed to God. They are not to be taken literally, of course, for the sight of human folly can give no pleasure to Him. They signify that He will act as if He mocked when He refuses to hear their cry. Similar expressions, imputing human actions to the Almighty, are Genesis 11:5; Genesis 11:7; 2 Chronicles 16:9; Psalms 18:9; human feelings, Genesis 6:6. read more
