箴言 29:11-13 CUNPTS

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:1-27

This division of the book is introduced in the first verse of chapter 25, as the “proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah, copied out.” What these words mean it is difficult to say, except in the general sense that the teachers of Hezekiah’s period selected and gathered together wise sayings that had been written, or handed down orally in previous generations. They may have been those of Solomon only, and yet his name may be attached to them simply because they were now... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Proverbs 29:1-27

A Stiffnecked People, Etc. Proverbs 29:0 Men hardened their necks against the yoke of God, which is described by Jesus Christ in Matthew 11:29 , Matthew 11:30 . Those who thus harden their necks shall be destroyed; that is to say, shall be shattered or dashed to pieces like a potter's vessel that cannot be put together again. This shattering shall be final "without remedy." Nothing more can be done for the man than has been done by the process of frequent and affectionate reproof. By "reproof"... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 29:5-13

A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. A fool uttereth all his... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 29:1-14

Description of Stubbornness and Disobedience v. 1. He that, being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, shaking off the reproofs with deliberate stubbornness, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy, for when the patience of God is exhausted, He will shut the door to repentance and bring ruin upon the offender. v. 2.

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 29:1-27

Verse Proverbs 29:2. The sentiment of this proverb often recurs. On the surface it hardly appears to be true. To observe long issues is to be convinced of the absolute accuracy of the sentiment. Verse Proverbs 29:8. A fine motto for engraving on the walls of the Foreign Office of any nation. Verse Proverbs 29:13. That is to say, all intelligence is a divine gift, whether it be used in righteousness or in wickedness. Sin is always the prostitution of a God-given power to base purposes. Verse... read more

He has pleaded, and pleaded often. He has reproved time and... read more

A Collection Of Solomon’s Proverbs (Proverbs 10:1 to Proverbs 29:27 ). Solomon’s presentation of The Book of Proverbs has followed the pattern of much Wisdom literature. This commenced with the initial heading detailing the details of the author and his purpose in writing (Proverbs 1:1-7), continued with a Prologue which laid the foundation for what was to follow (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18), and was then followed by the body of the work introduced by one or more subheadings. In Solomon’s... read more
