Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Proverbs 17:1-28

"Excellent Speech," Etc. Proverbs 17:7 , Proverbs 17:9 , Pro 17:17 By "excellent speech" we are to understand superfluous or pretentious words; and by "a fool" we are to understand a vile person. Discrepancy between words and character should always be pointed out as a most vicious fault. The words and the character should be equal to one another; so should the sermon and the preacher, that is to say, the sermon should not be read, or delivered as if it did not belong to the preacher, but... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 17:18-28

A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend. He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. A wicked man taketh a gift out of the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 17:19

v. 19. He loveth transgression that loveth strife, for a quarrelsome disposition is usually combined with wickedness of heart; and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction, putting on the airs of the wealthy by building a lofty gateway to his house, thereby inviting jealousy and enmity and leading to his own ruin. Pride is the most common cause of ruinous quarrels. read more

β) Admonition to contentment and a peaceable dispositionChap. 171 Better a dry morsel and quietness therewiththan a house full of slain beasts with strife.2 A wise servant shall have rule over a degenerate son,and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold,but he that trieth hearts is Jehovah.4 Wickedness giveth heed to lying lips,deceit giveth ear to a vile tongue.5 He that mocketh the poor hath reproached... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 17:1-28

Verse Proverbs 17:3. Two important thoughts are suggested by this proverb. First, that the heart will yield to no force other than that of God.

The first part of this proverb does not teach, as is so often stated, that poverty is from God. Rather, it recognizes the inherent rights of every man in God,... read more
