The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 19:27

v. 27. Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge, rather, "to depart from the sayings of understanding," for teaching which is not wholesome and in accord with the Word of God leads to destruction. 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'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

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 19:27. Cease my son, &c. “That causeth” are not in the original and the instruction spoken of may therefore be evil or good. “Two conceptions are possible: 1. The instruction is that of wisdom itself, and therefore a good wholesome discipline that leads to life; then the words can be only ironical, presenting under the appearance of a dissuasion from discipline in wisdom a very urgent counsel to hear and receive it (so Ewald, Bertheau, Elster). 2. The instruction is... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 19:1-29

Chapter 19Better is the poor that walks in his integrity [or in honesty], 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 even separated from his neighbor ( Proverbs 19:1-4 ).If you're rich, you have a lot of people coming around. But you really don't know. It... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 19:1-29

Proverbs 19:1 . Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, in simplicity and honesty of heart, than a fool whose tongue is perverse, and whose body is swoln with corpulency. The contrast of men’s conditions, and their diversity of moral character, suggest a world of ideas respecting the conduct and issues of life. Proverbs 19:2 . That the soul be without knowledge, it is not good. The human mind, godlike in its powers, is worthy of culture. In the year 1780, the county of Dorset... read more
