잠언 23:10-22 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 23:10-11

Note, 1. The fatherless are taken under God's special protection; with him they not only find mercy shown to them (Hos. 14:3) but justice done for them. He is their Redeemer, their Goöl, their near kinsman, that will take their part and stand up for them with jealousy, as taking himself affronted in the injuries done to them. As their Redeemer he will plead their cause against those that do them any injury, and, one way or other, will not only defend their right, and recover it for them, but... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 23:12-16

Here is, 1. A parent instructing his child. He is here brought in persuading him to give his mind to his book, and especially to the scriptures and his catechism, to attend to the words of knowledge, by which he might come to know his duty, and danger, and interest, and not to think it enough to give them the hearing, but to apply his heart to them, to delight in them, and bow his will to the authority of them. The heart is then applied to the instruction when the instruction is applied to the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 23:17-18

Here is, 1. A necessary caution against entertaining any favourable thoughts of prospering profaneness: ?Let not thy heart envy sinners; do not grudge them either the liberty they take to sin or the success they are to be pitied rather than envied. Their prosperity is their portion (Pr. 12:14), nay, it is their poison,? Prov. 1:32. We must not harbour in our hearts any secret discontent at the providence of God, though it seem to smile upon them, nor wish ourselves in their condition. ?Let not... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 23:19-28

Here is good advice for parents to give to their children; words are put into their mouths, that they may train them up in the way they should go. Here we have, I. An earnest call to young people to attend to the advice of their godly parents, not only to this that is here given, but to all other profitable instructions: ?Here, my son, and be wise, Prov. 23:19. This will be an evidence that thou art wise and a means to make thee wiser.? Wisdom, as faith, comes by hearing. And again (Prov.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 23:10

Remove not the old landmark ,.... See Gill on Proverbs 22:28 ; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless ; to carry off the increase of them, to reap their wheat, or mow their grass, or turn in cattle to eat it; or to encroach upon them, take in any part of them, or join the whole to their own; for if there is a woe to them that lay field to field, much more to them that enter into and take the fields of the fatherless, and join them to their own, Isaiah 5:8 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 23:11

For their Redeemer is mighty ,.... As he must needs be, since the Lord of hosts is his name; who sympathizes with them, has mercy on them, is their father, and their friend; see Jeremiah 50:34 ; he shall plead their cause with thee ; or "against thee", as the Vulgate Latin version; and will certainly carry it for them, and against thee; for, when he undertakes a cause, he pleads it thoroughly. read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 23:12

Apply thine heart unto instruction ,.... To the instruction of parents, and to the instruction of ministers of the word; to the Scriptures, which are profitable to instruction in righteousness; to the instruction of wisdom, or to the Gospel of Christ, which instructs in things relating to him, and to salvation by him: or, "bring in thine heart to instruction" F25 הביאה "adduc", Piscator; "vel fac ingredi", Pagninus, Montanus, Mercerus; "adduc et quasi praesens siste", Michaelis, ;... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 23:13

Withhold not correction from the child ,.... When he has committed a fault, and correction is necessary; for to spare it is the ruin of the child, and no proof of true affection in the parent, but the reverse; see Proverbs 13:24 ; for, if thou beatest him with a rod, he shall not die ; if he be beaten moderately, there is no danger of his dying under the rod, or with the stripes given him; besides, such moderate and proper corrections may be a means of preserving him from such crimes... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 23:14

Thou shall beat him with the rod ,.... Or, correct him with the stripes of the children of men, in a moderate and suitable manner, proportionable to the fault committed; and as he is able to bear it, both as to body and mind; and shalt deliver his soul from hell ; be a means of preventing those sins which would bring to hell and destruction; and of bringing to repentance for those committed; and so of saving his soul, which should be the chief thing parents should have in view in... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 23:15

My son, if thine heart be wise ,.... To that which is good; so as from it to understand in a spiritual and experimental manner things divine and heavenly; he may be said to have a wise heart who knows in some measure what his heart is, the wickedness, the original depravity and corruption, of it; the plague of his own heart; the weakness and inability of it to do that which is good; the insufficiency of his own righteousness to justify him before God; the poverty of his spirit, and the folly... read more
