Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 1:20-33

Wisdom Is Depicted As Crying Out To Be Heard, Longing For Response, Promising Inculcation Of Her Own Spirit, And Warning Of The Consequences Of Refusal (Proverbs 1:20-33 ). We have here the first of the wisdom passages, where Wisdom herself speaks, crying out to be heard and warning of the consequences of refusal. But Wisdom is essentially God’s Wisdom. Consider especially Proverbs 3:19-20; Proverbs 8:22-31. Thus when Wisdom speaks, God speaks. The passage conveys its ideals chiastically: A ... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 1:24-33

But If They Refuse To Respond To Wisdom’s Voice And Fail To Choose The Fear Of YHWH Then One Day, When They Suffer The Consequences Of Their Refusal As They Surely Will, Wisdom Will Mock At Them, And When They Call Will No Longer Hear Them. It Will Be Too Late For Repentance And They Will Continue To Suffer The Consequences Of Their Rejection. But Those Who Do Respond Will Live In Quietness And Peace Without Fear (Proverbs 1:24-33 ). Wisdom now draws their attention to the alternative. If... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 1:24

I have called, by my ministers, and by my judgments upon you or others, and by the motions of my Spirit and your own consciences. Stretched out my hand; offering grace and mercy to you, and earnestly inviting you to accept of it. Lest through your deafness or distance from me you should not hear, I have beckoned to you with my hand, which this phrase signifies, Isaiah 13:2; Isaiah 65:2. No man regarded; few or none complied with it. read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:24-28

Proverbs 1:24-28 I. God in mercy visits a rebellious generation. He calls, stretches out His hands, gives counsel, and administers reproof. II. A rebellious generation neglect or resist the gracious visitation of God. III. They shall eat the fruit of their own ways, and be filled with their own devices. As certainly as a husbandman in harvest reaps only what he sowed in spring, shall they, who in life sow sin, reap wrath in judgment. W. Arnot, Laws from Heaven, 1st series, p. 78. read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:24-31

Proverbs 1:24-31 I. The person represented as speaking these very solemn and terrible words is that same wisdom which is represented in the verses before the text as making most gracious offers to all who will hear her voice. We shall make a right use of the language if we conclude from it that the wisdom of God will not speak for ever in the way of warning and rebuke, but that a time will come to those who do not listen to her words, when her voice will bring no comfort to their hearts, and... read more
