Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 4:24-27

Proverbs 4:24-27 First the fountain, then the streams; first the heart and then the life-course. The issues of life are manifold: three of their main channels are mapped out here the "lips," the "eyes," and the "feet." I. A froward mouth. The form of the precept, "put it away," reveals the secret of our birth. The evil is there at the first in every one. He who is free of it was born free. When a man would erect a temple to God within his own body the first effort of the builder is to clear the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 4:1-27

Proverbs 4:1 . Hear, ye children, a Hebraism, equivalent to wash, cleanse, and purify your ears. A grateful son here recites the domestic piety of an illustrious father. David talked much with his children on religious subjects. But Solomon, wiser than all his brothers, was his beloved son, and shared more of his father’s favours. David made religion the first object of paternal tuition; for it was in his eyes far before the throne, and all worldly good. Our Lord also has taught us that it... read more

Proverbs 4:24-27Put away from thee a froward mouth. Laws of lifeA law for the tongue, a law for the eye, a law for the mind, a law for the life.I. A demand for pure language. Speech is one of the grand peculiarities that distinguish man. It is the organ by which one man can influence the ages. Yet it has become the vehicle of error, the channel of pollution, the utterance of blasphemy, etc. A pure heart is essential to pure speech.II. A demand for a straightforward purpose.

Proverbs 4:27Turn not to the right hand nor to the left. Religious and moral conductWhatever the belief of men be, they generally pride themselves on the possession of some good moral qualities. The sense of duty is deeply rooted in the human heart. But as there is a constant strife between the lower and higher parts of our nature, between inclination and principle, this produces much contradiction and inconsistency in conduct. Hence arise most of the extremes into which men run in their moral... read more

Turn not to the right. ] Keep the king’s highway; keep within God’s precincts, and ye keep under his protection.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 4:27

27. Turn not… right hand nor to the left Let nothing turn thee aside from the path of virtue, honesty, and fair dealing; of morality and religion. Temptations will be many and various, but whenever the seemingly plausible, pleasurable, or profitable evil is presented to thy thought, instantly reject it and turn away from it. Some versions, as the Septuagint, add here the following: “For God knows the ways on the right hand, but those on the left are crooked. And he will make thy ways... read more
