Proverbs 13:18 KJV

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 13:1-25

Verse Proverbs 13:2. Compare this with Proverbs 12:14. As the words of a good man benefit himself as well as others, so the evil deeds of transgressors react upon themselves. Verse Proverbs 13:5. The contrast here between the wicked and the righteous is intense, in that concerning the righteous man the proverb simply states he hateth lying; concerning the wicked it declares that he becomes loathsome. That is to say, a righteous man keeping himself separate from wickedness hates lying. An evil... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 13:1-25

A Collection Of Solomon’s Proverbs (Proverbs 10:1 to Proverbs 29:27 ). Solomon’s presentation of The Book of Proverbs has followed the pattern of much Wisdom literature. This commenced with the initial heading detailing the details of the author and his purpose in writing (Proverbs 1:1-7), continued with a Prologue which laid the foundation for what was to follow (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18), and was then followed by the body of the work introduced by one or more subheadings. In Solomon’s... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 13:12-19

Those Who Want Their Hopes And Desires Fulfilled Must Respond God’s Wisdom And Understanding, Heeding Those Who Teach Them, And It Will Be To Them A Tree Of Life And Sweetness To Their Inner Being (Proverbs 13:12-19 ). The connection between the closing verse of the last subsection, and the opening verse of this one, is the thought of diminishment and increase. Deceptive wealth ‘diminishes’, true wealth ‘causes to increase’ (Proverbs 13:11). Hope deferred ‘diminishes’ (makes sick), fulfilment... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 13:1-25

Proverbs 13. This chapter has little that is fresh and no new groups of proverbs. We have a well-known reference to the weariness of waiting for a hope that comes not ( Proverbs 13:12 and Proverbs 13:19 a). There is a new proverb relating to the faithfulness of messengers, perhaps with reference to diplomatic missions. Proverbs 13:5 . is loathsome: render “ behaves vilely.” Proverbs 13:7 . Both AV and RV obscure the point of the aphorism, which contrasts two equally obnoxious social shams.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 13:18

Instruction; whereby he might have been kept from destructive and dishonourable courses. He that regardeth reproof, that considers it seriously, receiveth it kindly, and reformeth himself by it, shall be honoured, and enriched, which is implied from the former branch. Not that it is so always, but commonly, and when God sees it good for a man. Or if he do not always gain riches, he shall certainly have honour both from God and men. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 13:18

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 13:18THE WAY TO HONOURI. Man needs instruction because his natural intuitions are not enough to meet the needs of human life. The instinct of the animal is enough to enable it to fulfil its destiny. Its limited powers find sufficient guidance in the use of the faculties which are born with it. But it is not so with man. If, as some philosophers suppose, a man comes into the world without any ideas, if he receives everything from the outside world, instruction is so... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 13:1-25

Chapter 13In the thirteenth chapter of Proverbs, there is a continuation of the contrasting of the righteous with the wicked, the wise and the scorner, the transgressor and the good man.A wise son hears his father's instruction: but a scorner does not listen to rebuke. A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. He that keeps his mouth keeps his life: but he that opens wide his lips shall have destruction. The soul of the sluggard... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 13:1-25

Proverbs 13:1 . A wise son heareth his father’s instruction. This maxim is in substance often repeated, it being of the last importance to hear the wisdom of a father proceeding from so much love, and sanctioned by long experience. And he who hearkens to a wise father is here called a wise son; while he who rejects paternal counsel altogether is branded with the name of a scorner. Proverbs 13:2 . Transgressors shall eat violence. The Septuagint, “Shall perish before their time,” or die... read more

Proverbs 13:18But he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. Accepting reproofOne of the weakest traits of any person is to be unwilling to accept honest criticism and correction. From the foolish child who will never listen to parental authority, on to the foolish man who will never listen to rebuke or reason, pride always goeth before a fall. Honest criticism is often a bitter dose to swallow, but most tonics are bitter, and we are the stronger for taking them down bravely. “If I am... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 13:18

Pro 13:18 Poverty and shame [shall be to] him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. Ver. 18. Poverty and shame. ] These two are fitly set together; for poverty is usually slighted, if not shamed. Jam 2:16 “ Nil habet infelix paupertas durius in se Quam quod ridicules homines facit. ” The world looks over a poor though virtuous man. "This thy son"; Luk 15:30 not, This my brother. And why, but because in poverty? How much more an uncounsellable and... read more
