Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Proverbs 10:3

DISCOURSE: 773GOD’S CARE FOR THE RIGHTEOUSProverbs 10:3. The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish.GOD, who is the author and giver of all good, dispenses his blessings no less to the evil and unjust, than to the good and just. But he promises to those who seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, that all other things shall be added unto them. To this effect he speaks also in the passage before us. But though this be the primary import of the text, we must not exclude... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Proverbs 10:4

DISCOURSE: 774EFFECTS OF SLOTH AND DILIGENCE COMPAREDProverbs 10:4. He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.IT is certainly true, that men’s circumstances in life depend on their own exertions, so far at least, as to justify the declaration in the text. Sometimes indeed God is pleased to raise men to opulence by labours not their own; and sometimes to withhold success from the industrious. But though this inequality is sometimes found in the... read more

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

Proverbs 10:3The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish.The Lord and the righteousI. God has bountifully provided even for the ungodly. Has He shown such concern for the wicked as to provide for them in the gospel “a feast of fat things full of marrow,” and will He disregard the righteous?II. God is peculiarly interested in the welfare of the righteous. The righteous are God’s “peculiar treasure above all people.”III. God has pledged His word that they shall never want... read more

Proverbs 10:4The hand of the diligent maketh rich. DiligentOur life is dependent on our industry. It is good for man that he should have to labour. Were God to do all, We should truly leave Him to do it, not caring to co-operate with the Divine Husbandman in the culture of the field of life. By the “diligent” we are to understand the nimble-handed--those who are active and agile, who will lose nothing for want of rising early and peering about in the darkness if they may but catch a glimpse... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 10:3

Pro 10:3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked. Ver. 3. The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous. ] That refuseth to enrich himself by evil arts, and to rise by wicked principles. For it might be objected, If I strain not my conscience, I may starve for it. Fear not that, saith the wise man; faith fears not famine. Necessaries thou shall be sure of; Psalms 37:25-26 ; Psa 34:15 superfluities thou art not to... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 10:4

Pro 10:4 He becometh poor that dealeth [with] a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. Ver. 4. He becometh poor. ] Lest any should say, If God do all, we need do the less. Doing you must be, saith the wise man, or else the beggar will catch you by the back. Labour also you must with your hands, "working the thing that is good, that ye may have to give to him that needeth." Eph 4:28 But the hand of the diligent. ] Or, Of the nimble; that do motitare, saith Kimchi, are active... read more
