箴言 11:29 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 11:29

Two extremes in the management of family-affairs are here condemned and the ill consequences of them foretold:?1. Carefulness and carnal policy, on the one hand. There are those that by their extreme earnestness in pursuit of the world, their anxiety about their business and fretfulness about their losses, their strictness with their servants and their niggardliness towards their families, trouble their own houses and give continual vexation to all about them; while others think, by supporting... read more

The pricelessness of integrity We have here a view of the exceeding worth of moral integrity, or of righteousness; we see what, in the judgment of the wise, it will do for its possessor. It will— I.

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 11:27-31

Temporal and eternal contrasts I. MEN FIND WHAT THEY SEEK . ( Proverbs 11:27 .) The favour of God, which includes all the elements of happiness by well doing, or sorrow by ill-doing.

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 11:29

He that troubleth his own house; he that annoys and worries his family and household by niggardliness, bad management, and captious ill temper. So the Son of Sirach writes ( Ecclesiastes 4:1-16 :30), "Be not as a lion in thy house, nor frantic ( φαντασιοκοπῶν , 'suspicious') among thy servants." Septuagint, "he who has no friendly intercourse ( ὁ μὴ συμπεριφερόμενος ) with his own house." Shall inherit the wind; he will be the loser in the end; no one will lend him a helping... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 11:1-31

Prosperity; uprightness; generosity (11:1-31)People are foolish to try to get rich by dishonest methods, because dishonesty brings judgment from which riches cannot save (11:1-4). By their blameless conduct, people ensure their ultimate victory; by crookedness they ensure their downfall (5-8). When good people have influence in a city, the citizens live in peace and happiness. But each city also has its troublemakers, who are a nuisance to their neighbours and create unrest in the community... read more
