箴言 24:4 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 24:3-6

We are tempted to envy those that grow rich, and raise their estates and families, by such unjust courses as our consciences will by no means suffer us to use. But, to set aside that temptation, Solomon here shows that a man, with prudent management, may raise his estate and family by lawful and honest means, with a good conscience, and a good name, and the blessing of God upon his industry; and, if the other be raised a little sooner, yet these will last a great deal longer. 1. That which is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 24:4

And by knowledge shalt the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. That are both of worth, value, and usefulness, and for ornament and delight; the more private and retired parts of a man's dwelling house, as well as his shops, warehouses, barns, and granaries, shall be filled with all kind of valuable substance, through his knowledge in improving trade or husbandry, in which he is concerned. This may be understood spiritually, of the fulness which the church has from... read more

Wisdom edifies and invigorates How fine a word is "edification," building up , in its moral and Christian uses! Here the image of the house is directly introduced, and may be variously applied. I. WISDOM THE FOUNDATION OF DOMESTIC STABILITY AND HAPPINESS . ( Proverbs 24:3 , Proverbs 24:4 .) The same great principles apply in the least as well as the most important things.

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 24:3-6

Building with wisdom God is the Divine Builder. "He that built all things is God" ( Hebrews 3:4 ). Man, also, is a great builder. The whole scenery of the earth is not a little changed by the houses and temples, by the bridges and factories, by the manifold structures of every size and shape, that he has built. But these are not the most serious and important of his works. We look at— I. THE HOUSES WE ARE BUILDING . Of these, three are the most deserving of attention. 1 ... read more

And by knowledge Which, in the phraseology of the Scriptures, includes the love and practice of that which we know. A wise man is strong Is courageous and resolute, and able by wisdom to do greater things than others can accomplish by their own... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 24:1-34

Godly and ungodly citizens (24:1-34)In contrast to the destructive schemes of the wicked are the constructive acts of the wise. A life built by wisdom is likened to a strongly built and richly furnished house (24:1-4). Wisdom gives people real strength and success, but folly gives them nothing worthwhile, not even sensible words that can benefit their fellow citizens (5-7). (In ancient times the place where citizens liked to gather was the open area just inside the city gate; v. 7. There they... read more
