箴言 20:7 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 20:7

It is here observed to the honour of a good man, 1. That he does well for himself. He has a certain rule, which with an even steady hand he governs himself by: He walks in his integrity; he keeps good conscience, and he has the comfort of it, for it is his rejoicing. He is not liable to those uneasinesses, either in contriving what he shall do or reflecting on what he has done, which those are liable to that walk in deceit. 2. That he does well for his family: His children are blessed after... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 20:7

The just man walketh in his integrity ,.... This is the faithful and upright man, who is made righteous by the obedience of Christ; and walks by faith in him, and according to the truth of the Gospel; his children are blessed after him ; with temporal blessings; and, walking in the same integrity as he does, they are blessed with spiritual blessings here, and eternal blessedness hereafter; see Psalm 37:26 .

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 20:6-7

The blessings of goodness Here are brought out again, in proverbial brevity, the blessings which belong to moral worth. I. THE DOUBTFUL VALUE OF SELF - PRAISE . "Most men will proclaim," etc. 1 . On the one hand, nothing is better than the approval of a man's own conscience. "Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo," says the Roman writer. Let a man have the commendation of his own conscience, and he can hear the hisses of the people with very little concern. It has been... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 20:6-11

The frailty of mankind I. THE RARITY OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP . ( Proverbs 20:6 .) Many are ready to promise, few willing to perform. Many eager to say, "Lord, Lord!" comparatively few to do the will of the Father in heaven. There is no want of good notions in the world; but, according to the Italian proverb, many are so good that they are good for nothing. The spirit may be willing, the flesh is weak. Inclination to good needs to be fortified by faith in God. II. THE JUST ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 20:7

The just man walketh in his integrity. It is better to connect the two clauses together, and not to take the first as a separate sentence, thus: "He who as a just man walketh in his integrity"—Blessed are his children after him (comp. Proverbs 14:26 ). So the Septuagint and Vulgate. The man of pure life, who religiously performs his duty towards God and man, shall bring a blessing on his children who follow his good example, both during his life and after his death. The temporal promise is... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 20:6-7

Proverbs 20:6-7. Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness “Most men are ready enough to claim to themselves a large share of piety and virtue;” but a faithful man who can find? “Where is that man of true and undissembled virtue to be found, who studies rather to be, than to seem, good?” There are but few such. Schultens. The just man walketh in his integrity He proves himself to be righteous, not only by his profession, which is spoken of in the former sentence, but by his... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 20:1-30

Honesty (20:1-30)Wise people will not become drunkards, will not needlessly anger those in authority, will avoid quarrelling and will work to support themselves (20:1-4). They will also have the ability to draw out the deepest feelings and intentions of those with whom they deal (5). Many people boast of their loyalty but few practise it. To live honestly is the best way to guarantee a good future for one’s children (6-7). A king learns by experience to discern between right and wrong in cases... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 20:7

"A righteous man that walketh in his integrity, Blessed are his children after him.""He that walks blameless in justice, shall leave his children blessed."[5] There is no inheritance which a man can leave his children that is any more desirable than a good name. In this also, this writer, and also his wife, have rejoiced for a lifetime in the true and noble character of godly Christian parents, honored by their contemporaries as true and worthy saints of God. That is the greatest inheritance... read more
