Proverbs 10:23 ASV

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Proverbs 10:11-32

The Righteous and the Wicked, Etc. Pro 10:11-32 This has been proved in all lands and in all ages. The righteous man sets his face towards the kingdom of life, and whatever has in it true life he claims for companionship and instruction.

The righteous man always speaks living words, whether they are words of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 10:16-32

The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth. The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom. The... read more

No exposition is possible save to take each proverb and consider it in its separate value. In the majority of instances this is unnecessary, because they are self-evident expositions of one... read more
