II. COLLECTION 2: SOLOMON’S COUPLETS EXPRESSING Wisdom 10:1-22:16Chapters 1-9, as we have seen, contain discourses that someone, probably Solomon, wrote urging his son to choose the way of wisdom for his life. However, Kidner believed that if Solomon had written the first nine chapters, Proverbs 10:1 would read, "These also are proverbs of Solomon." [Note: Kidner, p. 22.] At Proverbs 10:1, we begin the part of the book that sets forth what "the wise way" is in a variety of life... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 10:3
The righteous will not lack what is most important in life, though they may lack food. Conversely, God will not meet the deepest cravings of the wicked because they have rejected His ways."The wicked are condemned to live forever with their unfulfilled, and so sterile, desires, which cannot be transformed into practical attainment." [Note: McKane, p. 426.] read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 10:1-16
Here we reach the first collection of what were supposed to be Solomon’s proverbs. Most of them consist of two lines parallel to each other. The parallelism is one of contrast, or agreement, or explanation, or of different persons and objects. It is impossible to trace any principle underlying the order in which the proverbs stand. Several of them are more or less exactly repeated in Proverbs 25-29. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 10:1-32
The main subject, not treated continuously, but recurred to again and again, is the blessing which attends goodness and diligence, the penalty which follows sin and sloth.2. Treasures of wickedness] acquired by wrong-doing (Amos 3:10). In many synagogues this v. is inscribed over the alms-box. To the later Jews ’righteousness’ meant almsgiving (Daniel 4:27; Tobit 4:1; Tobit 12:9; Matthew 6:1). 4. To deal with a slack hand is to be lacking in energy. 5. ’Make hay while the sun shines.’7. ’Only... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Proverbs 10:3
(3) The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish.—Comp. David’s experience (Psalms 37:25), and the great promise of our Lord to those who “seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:33). (Comp. also below, Proverbs 13:25.)He casteth away the substance of the wicked.—Rather, He repels (the word is used in 2 Kings 4:27, of Gehazi “thrusting away” the Shunammite) the eager, passionate desire of the wicked. However much they long for it, they get it not,... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Proverbs 10:1-32
Proverbs 10:22 The ancients believed that the pyramids were so constructed that they cast no shadow; but few things in this world are wholly free from shadows. Wellnigh all circumstances and events, however propitious some may be, entail disadvantages. Absolute perfection is rare in any direction. Yet it is now our privilege to offer unqualified advantage, a gift without a backdraw, a blessing that is an unalloyed joy. In its most definite sense the blessing of the Lord is the fullness of the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 10:3
"Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked."Note that it is not particularly the body of the righteous, but his soul that shall not famish. The NIV misses this significant difference. "The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked."[6] read more
