The Righteous (The Wise) Walk Uprightly, Are A Wellspring Of Life To Others, Store Up Knowledge, Accept Correction, Think Before They Speak And Act As Shepherd To Many.

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 10:1-32

Proverbs 10:2 ( cf. Psalms 3:7). righteousness: the growth of the conception of righteousness is an important subject. As in the Pss., there is a specific class “ the righteous” opposed to “ the wicked.” The righteous are generally synonymous with the poor and afflicted remnant, sometimes equivalent to the Hasidim of the Greek period. In general the tendency of the conception of righteousness is towards a specific moral character, rather than towards the fulfilment of legal duties. This is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 10:16

The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: either, 1. The design of his labour is only this, that he may have wherewith to live honestly, without sinful shifts. Or, 2. The fruit or effect of his labour or industry (as this word labour is most commonly understood, and this best answers to the following clause, where fruit is put instead of this labour) is the preservation and prolongation of this life, and the obtaining of eternal life, to which an honest and conscientious diligence in men’s... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 10:15-16

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 10:16. Labour, i.e., “the gain,” “the reward of labour.” Fruit, “gain,” antithetical to the subject of the first clause. MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH—Proverbs 10:15-16A FALSE AND A TRUE ESTIMATE OF LIFEI. A false estimate of life in its relation to riches. It is a mistake to look on wealth as a “strong city” in which we can be secure from the evils of life. A commander, who knows that there is behind him a fortress into which he can retire in case of need, may be... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 10:1-32

Chapter 10Now in chapter 10 we have individual proverbs. Most of these individual proverbs are in contrast, where they are contrasting the wise with the foolish, or the wicked with the righteous. Or the diligent with the slothful. I mean, you'll see in each of them a contrast, and there is really not any kind of a tie between the proverb. Each one is a separate little, neat little truth all packaged by itself. Each one is self-explanatory. Thus, there isn't really much that you can say without... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 10:1-32

Proverbs 10:1 . The Proverbs of Solomon. The nine preseding chapters may be regarded as a vestibule to the temple. Wisdom has been personified, and folly thrown into the darker shades. We have had a chain of arguments, and a succession of very expressive figures; now we shall find rings of gold, comprising a complete sense. But as the words often occur in other places, there is no need to illustrate more than where real edification can be conferred. When the sense is plain, illustration may... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 10:16

16. Fruit Income, increase, earnings, (tendeth) to sin, and “sin bringeth forth death,” in antithesis to the life of the first clause. This is a good illustration of the fact that the antithesis in these proverbs is often implied or intimated, and is to be inferred from what is said. Rueetschi well observes: “It is, in general, a peculiar charm of many proverbs that the parallelism is not perfectly clear; but it remains the function of the reader to seek out the intermediate thoughts... read more
