Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:1-10

Introductory Exhortation Followed By The Requirement To Trust In YHWH, To Fear YHWH And To Honour YHWH (Proverbs 3:1-10 ). Solomon here speaks of wisdom and understanding in terms of ‘my torah -- my commandments’. It is observance of these that will ensure longevity and wellbeing. In view of the Scriptural precedents for these words (Exodus 24:12; Deuteronomy 30:10 ’; Jos 22:5 ; 1 Kings 2:3; etc.) it is clear that Solomon see his wisdom as complementary to the Torah and therefore to YHWH’s... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:1-35

Prologue To The Book (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18 ). It was common throughout the 3rd to the 1st millenniums BC for collections of wisdom saying to have a prologue preparing for the ‘sayings’ that would follow. Those sayings would then be introduced by a subheading. Proverbs thus follows the usual precedent in having such a prologue in Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18, followed by general sayings in Proverbs 10:1 ff headed by a subheading (Proverbs 10:1). It was also common for such a... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:1-35

Proverbs 3:1-2 Samuel : . Fourth Discourse.— The sage exhorts the young man to heed his oral instruction ( torah) , and to trust in Yahweh, fear Him, and honour Him in the prescribed manner of firstfruits. It is interesting to find torah used in its earlier prophetic sense of oral instruction, without reference to its later sense of the whole body of legislation represented by the Pentateuch. The torah of the wise man represents not his own individual authority, but the accumulated wisdom of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 3:4

Find favour, i.e. obtain acceptance, or be gracious and amiable to them. Good understanding; whereby to know thy duty, and to discern between good and evil. The serious practice of religion is an excellent mean to get a solid understanding of it; as, on the contrary, a vicious life doth exceedingly debase and darken the mind, and keep men from the knowledge of truth, which not only Scripture, but even heathen philosophers, have oft observed. Others render it, good success; which seems not to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord; wholly and securely rely upon God’s promises and providence for help and relief in all thine affairs and dangers. Lean not unto thine own understanding; think not to accomplish thy designs by the strength of thine own wit without God’s blessing. Under this one kind of carnal confidence, which is most frequent and most plausible, he understands and forbids all other confidences in bodily strength, wealth, friends, &c. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 3:5-6

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 3:6. Acknowledge, “take notice of,” “recognise” Him. Direct, “make level” or “smooth. MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH—Proverbs 3:5-6EXHORTATION TO CONFIDENCE IN GODMan is so constituted that, in some respects, he must have objects outside of himself to lean upon. As a child, he leans upon a wisdom and strength which is superior to his own, and few men are so self-sufficient as entirely to lay aside this habit in after life. In many things we must, whether we will or... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 3:5-6

Proverbs 3:5-6 (with Proverbs 27:1 ) I. The precept, "Lean not unto thine own understanding" is one in which, with advancing years, we are well disposed to acquiesce. One who has grown older, and who has really profited by the experience of life, must often have found cause to revise his own judgments. In this world of change and sorrow experience soon teaches us the lesson, "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." Sudden reverses overtake the most... read more
