Proverbs 15:25

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Proverbs 15:18-33

Words in Season Proverbs 15:18-33 Learn to be slow to anger. This paragraph describes the even temper which is blessed to live with and blessed to die with. Temper is said to be nine-tenths of Christianity. What best proves a Christian is an even temper. It is told of a Japanese gentleman, who was led by a tract to renounce the use of intoxicants and to accept Jesus Christ, that the immediate effect on his temper was so great that his wife, who had often suffered from his uncontrollable fits... read more

Verse Proverbs 15:11. This is a simple method of drawing attention to God's perfect knowledge of all the deepest and hidden things. If that which is most full of mystery to us is perfectly known to Him, how well He must know our hearts. Verse Proverbs 15:23. This proverb sets forth the satisfaction of being able to say the right thing at the right moment. The explanation of its first part is found in the phrase in the second, "in due season." Verse Proverbs 15:24. A recognition of the two... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 15:1-33

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 15:22-33

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

The Counsel Of A Wise Man Is Carefully Considered, And Is Therefore A Joy And Useful. It Results In Men Finding Perpetual Life In Contrast With The Devastations Coming On The Unrighteous (Proverbs 15:23-28 ). This subsection can be seen as contained within the inclusio of Proverbs 15:23; Proverbs 15:28, which contrast the mouth of the righteous (Proverbs 15:23) with that of the unrighteous (Proverbs 15:28), with Proverbs 15:23 also referring to the response of the mouth of the righteous, and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 15:1-33

Proverbs 15. This chapter makes no new departure. Proverbs concerning the moral government of the world again occupy the chief place. One ( Proverbs 15:11) is noteworthy as showing an extended conception of the sphere of God’ s government. Earlier Heb. religion regarded Sheol as outside the kingdom of God; there the dead do not praise or remember Him. We have also some more psychological proverbs dealing with the value of cheerfulness. Proverbs 15:2 . uttereth aright: paraphrase rather than... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 15:25

Of the proud; of the most mighty oppressors, who conceit themselves to be unmovably fixed. The border; either, 1. The estate, the border being oft used for the land within the borders, as Psalms 105:31,Psalms 105:33, and elsewhere. Or, 2. The border by which lands were then bounded and distinguished, which those proud persons endeavoured to remove contrary to God’s law, Deuteronomy 19:14; Deuteronomy 27:17. read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 15:25. Establish the border, or “Keep fixed the landmark.” MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 15:25DESTRUCTION AND ESTABLISHMENTI. The character of those doomed to destruction. In looking at the trees of a vast forest, the eye of the beholder is drawn to some which, towering far above their fellows, form the most prominent features in the landscape. Yet these trees, although they look as if they would stand for ages, may be doomed to a much shorter standing than others which... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 15:1-33

Chapter 15Fifteen. I love this first one here.A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger ( Proverbs 15:1 ).How oftentimes a person comes just raging and a soft answer turns away wrath. If you rage back at them, then get out the gloves, you know, because you're soon going to be going at it. But a soft answer, how it can just mellow out a situation. Oh God, help us to respond with soft answers rather than with grievous words which only tend to stir up the whole scene.The... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 15:1-33

Proverbs 15:1 . A soft answer turneth away wrath. It bows to the tempest, it names a mitigating circumstance, it gives a favourable turn to misconstruction, it proposes a better way. My father, said the wary Syrian, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldst thou not have done it? How much rather then, when he says, wash, and be clean? Rehoboam, for the want of this wisdom, lost the ten tribes; whereas the intelligent woman on the wall, who wished to speak with Joab, saved the... read more
