Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 30:11-17

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 30:15. Horseleech, or “vampire, an imaginary spectre or ghost, supposed to suck the blood of children.” (Stuart.) Proverbs 30:15-16. On these verses, Dr. Aiken, the American translator of the Proverbs for Lange’s Commentary, remarks, “As compared with the numerical proverbs which follow, the complexity and the more artificial character of the one before us at once arrests attention. They all have this in common, that whatever moral lesson they have to convey is less... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 30:1-33

Chapter 30This is the end of the proverbs that were gathered by Hezekiah's men. Now in the thirtieth chapter we have,The words of Agur ( Proverbs 30:1 )Whoever he is. He tells us who he is, but it really doesn't help.[he's a] son of Jakeh ( Proverbs 30:1 ),But I don't know who Jakeh is.even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal ( Proverbs 30:1 ),And men that I don't know. So yet God has seen fit to put this here in the scriptures. Agur declares,Surely I am more... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 30:1-33

Proverbs 30:1 . The words of Agur. The style of this book seems to be much older than that of Solomon. Its simplicity very well agrees with the times of the patriarchs, or when the judges presided. He confesses his ignorance of navigation. Ithiel, God with me; and Ucal, the mighty one, seem to have been either friends or pupils of Agur. But too many critics play and trifle with the import of their names. Thousands in Israel also put the name of God to the beginning, and sometimes to the... read more

Pro 30:16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth [that] is not filled with water; and the fire [that] saith not, [It is] enough. Ver. 16. The grave. ] Which in Hebrew hath its name of craving. It is a sarcophagus, feeds on flesh, and it as little appears as once in Pharaoh’s lean kine; or as in those that having a flux, take in much, but are neither fuller nor fatter.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 30:16

16. The grave, etc. These four things are given as examples of insatiableness. The learner is left to apply them for himself, as for instance, to the miser, the drunkard, the glutton, the debauchee. This passage is reckoned among the hhidhoth (enigmas) of the book. Compare Proverbs 1:6. Barren womb Miller renders, allowably, “The enclosure of the womb.” It is the same word elsewhere translated “ prison,” as in Isaiah 53:8. He adds: “The idea of special insatiableness in the barren... read more
