箴言 11:3-4 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 11:3

It is not only promised that God will guide the upright, and threatened that he will destroy the transgressors, but, that we may be the more fully assured of both, it is here represented as if the nature of the thing were such on both sides that it would do it itself. 1. The integrity of an honest man will itself be his guide in the way of duty and the way of safety. His principles are fixed, his rule is certain, and therefore his way is plain; his sincerity keeps him steady, and he needs not... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 11:4

Note, 1. The day of death will be a day of wrath. It is a messenger of God's wrath; therefore when Moses had meditated on man's mortality he takes occasion thence to admire the power of God's anger, Ps. 90:11. It is a debt owing, not to nature, but to God's justice. After death the judgment, and that is a day of wrath, Rev. 6:17. 2. Riches will stand men in no stead that day. They will neither put by the stroke nor ease the pain, much less take out the sting; what profit will this world's... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 11:3

The integrity of the upright shall guide them ,.... The Spirit of God is the best guide of an upright man; he leads into all truth, and unto the land of uprightness, and continues to be a guide, even unto death; and it is right to walk after him, and not after the flesh: and besides him, the upright man has the word of God as a lamp to his feet, and a light to his paths, which he does well to take heed to; and next to that is the sincerity and uprightness of his heart, which will not suffer... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 11:4

Riches profit not in the day of wrath ,.... When God takes away the soul, and summons to judgment, and brings to it; and as riches profited not Rome Pagan, in the day of the Lamb's wrath upon it; so neither will they profit Rome Papal, when it will come in remembrance before God, to give it the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath; see Revelation 6:15 ; but righteousness delivereth from death ; from the curse of a corporeal death; from the power of a spiritual one; and from... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 11:4

Riches profit not in the day of wrath - Among men they can do all things; but they cannot purchase the remission of sins, nor turn aside the wrath of God when that is poured out upon the opulent transgressor. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 11:1-11

The ways of honour and of shame I. JUSTICE AND INJUSTICE IN COMMON THINGS . Jehovah delights in "full weight," and abominates the tricky balance. This may be applied: 1 . Literally, to commerce between man and man. 2 . Figuratively, to all social relations in which we may give and receive. Work is only honest if thorough; if honest and thorough, it is religious. If principle be the basis of all our transactions, then what we do is done "unto the Lord, and not unto men."... read more

The integrity —the simple straightforwardness —of the upright shall guide them in the right way, and give them success in their undertakings with the blessing of God (comp. Proverbs 11:5 ). Septuagint, "the perfection of the straightforward" ( Proverbs 10:9 ). The perverseness ( seleph );; they not only bring punishment on themselves when their evil designs are discovered and frustrated, but they ruin their moral nature, lose all sense of truth and right, and are rejected of God.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 11:3-31

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 11:4

Profit not; afford no refuge ( Proverbs 10:2 ). In the day of wrath ( Proverbs 6:34 ), when God visits individuals or nations to punish them for sin (comp. Ecclesiastes 5:8 ). Such visitations are often spoken of (comp. Isaiah 10:3 ; Ezekiel 7:19 ; Zephaniah 1:15 , Zephaniah 1:18 , etc.). More especially will this be true in me great dies irae. Righteousness … death (see on Proverbs 10:2 ; and comp. Tobit 4:10; 12:9). The Septuagint here adds a sentence which is similar... read more

Proverbs 11:2-3. When pride cometh, then cometh shame Pride, as it is the effect of folly, so it bringeth a man to contempt and destruction, such persons being under the displeasure of God, and disliked by all men. But with the lowly is wisdom Whereby they are kept from those foolish and wicked actions which expose men to shame. The integrity of the upright, &c. Their sincere obedience to God’s laws; shall guide them Shall keep them from crooked and dangerous courses, and lead them... read more
