The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:5-19

Four services of friendship (And see homily on "Friendship," Proverbs 13:20 .) We have suggested in the nineteenth verse two conditions of friendship: There can be no true friendship where one heart does not answer to another as the face reflected from a mirror answers to that which is before it. Men must be like minded in their principles and sympathies; and they must be sensitive enough to feel with one another and to give back the thoughts which are expressed by one or the other,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:11-13

The need of prudence I. PRUDENT CONDUCT REFLECTS CREDIT UPON ONE 'S PARENTS . ( Proverbs 27:11 .) The graceless children of gracious parents are a special reproach, bringing dishonour even upon the Name of God ( Genesis 34:30 ; 1 Samuel 2:17 ). The world will generally lay the blame at the parents' door. The Mosaic Law severely punished the sins of the priest's daughter for the disgrace brought upon the holy office (Le Proverbs 21:9 ). II. THE NEED AND ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:14

He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning. What is meant is ostentatious salutation, which puts itself forward in order to stand well with a patron, and to be beforehand with other servile competitors for favour. Juvenal satirized such parasitical effusion ('Sat.' 5.19)— " Habet Trebius, propter quod rumpere somnum Debeat et ligulas dimittere, sollicitus, ne Tots salutaris jam turba peregerit orbem, Sideribus dubiis, aut illo tempore, quo se ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:14

Insincerity in friendship The picture is that of one who indulges in the noisy ostentation of friendship, without having the reality of it at his heart. I. EXCESS IN PRAISE OR BLAME IS TO BE GUARDED AGAINST . Luther shrewdly observes, "He who loudly scolds, praises; and he who excessively praises, scolds. They are not believed because they exaggerate." Too great praise is half blame. Language should be used with sobriety and temperance. II. INSINCERITY IS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:15

The single line of the second clause of Proverbs 19:13 is here formed into a distich. A continual dropping in a very rainy day. "A day of violent rain," סַגְרִיר ( sagrir ), which word occurs nowhere else in the Old Testament. And a contentious woman are alike. The word rendered "are alike" ( נִשְׁתָּוָה ) is usually taken to be the third perf. nithp. from שׁיה ; but the best established reading, according to Hitzig, Delitzsch, and Nowack, is נִשְׁתָּוָה , which is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:15-16

The quarrelsome wife She is compared to the continual dropping of a shower; and the attempt to restrain her is like seeking to fetter the wind or to grasp at oil. I. THE MONOTONY OF ILL TEMPER . It persists in one mood, and dyes all it touches with one colour, and that a dismal one. II. THE CORRODING EFFECT UPON OTHERS ' MINDS . Fine tempers cannot resist this perpetual wear and tear; the most buoyant spirits may be in time depressed by this dead weight. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 27:16

Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind. Whoever tries to restrain a shrewish woman, or to conceal her faults, might as well attempt to confine the wind or to check its violence. And the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself . He might as well try to hide the ointment which signifies its presence by its odour. But there is no "which" in the original, which runs literally, "his right hand calls oil," or, "oil meets his right hand." The former is supposed to mean that he is hurt in... read more
