Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:21-35

Responding To God’s Wisdom And Understanding Will Result In Life, Peace And Security But Must Result In Positive Behaviour Towards Others, For YHWH Will Bless The Righteous, Lowly And Wise Whilst He Will Curse The Wicked, The Scoffers And The Foolish (Proverbs 3:21-35 ). The first subsection of Proverbs 3:1-35 stressed the importance of trusting, fearing and honouring YHWH. In this is understanding and wisdom. The second subsection emphasised the value of wisdom as an important part of YHWH’s... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:1-35

Proverbs 3:1-2 Samuel : . Fourth Discourse.— The sage exhorts the young man to heed his oral instruction ( torah) , and to trust in Yahweh, fear Him, and honour Him in the prescribed manner of firstfruits. It is interesting to find torah used in its earlier prophetic sense of oral instruction, without reference to its later sense of the whole body of legislation represented by the Pentateuch. The torah of the wise man represents not his own individual authority, but the accumulated wisdom of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 3:20

The depths are broken up; that great abyss or depth of waters, which was mixed with and contained in the bowels of the earth, did break forth into fountains and rivers for the use of men and beasts; which is justly remembered here as an illustrious effect of God’s wisdom, by which the earth was made habitable, and the waters serviceable. The dew; under which the rain is comprehended, as being of the same nature and use. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 3:21

Them, to wit, wisdom and discretion; of which he hath hitherto discoursed, and which are expressed in the end of this verse, and may be referred hither by a figure called trajection; and the words may be put into this order, let not sound wisdom and discretion depart from thine eyes, but keep them diligently. The like trajections are found in other texts of Scripture. From thine eyes, i.e. from the eyes of thy mind. Constantly and seriously meditate upon them, and upon those excellent precepts... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 3:22

Unto thy soul; either, 1. To thee or thy person. They shall prolong and perpetuate thy life, and make it life indeed, to wit, pleasant and happy; whereas a miserable life is reputed a kind of death, and is oft so called. Or, to thy soul, properly so called. They shall quicken, and delight, and save thy soul. Grace to thy neck; like a beautiful chain or ornament about thy neck, as above, Proverbs 3:3; Proverbs 1:9. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 3:19-20

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 3:20. Depths, &c., “were the floods divided” into rivers and streams for the blessing of man. Dew, or “gentle rain,” or else the clouds signify the lower regions of the atmosphere where the dew is formed. MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Proverbs 3:19-20ONE OF THE PROOFS OF GOD’S WISDOMI. God had a personal existence before the world. If we say that a man founded an institution—built a house—we imply that he existed before the institution or the house, and that he... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 3:21-26

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 3:21. Them, i.e. “sound wisdom and discretion;” Sound wisdom, the same word as in chap. Proverbs 2:7 (see notes there). Miller translates here, as there, “something stable” Proverbs 3:25. Desolation of the wicked. This is interpreted in two ways. 1. The desolation in which the wicked strive to overwhelm the good; or, 2. The destruction which will sweep away the wicked, leaving the godly unharmed. “A positive decision is probably not possible” (Lange’s Commentary).... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 3:1-35

Chapter 3Chapter 3 continues toMy son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments: For length of days, long life, peace, shall they add to thee ( Proverbs 3:1-2 ).Now these are the three. And we get now into some couplets here. He gives sort of a word, and then he tells you what the result of it will be. And to keep the commandment in your heart, it will grant to you the length of days, long life, peace will they add to thee. Now the next little statement:Let not mercy and truth... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 3:1-35

Proverbs 3:2 . Length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. The premature death denounced against the profligate, and the victims of the harlot, shall be far from thy dwelling. The truth of this promise, of frequent occurrence in the sacred writings, is demonstrated by the longevity of many scripture characters; and eternal life, by way of apposition, is understood. Proverbs 3:3 . Bind them about thy neck. As vain persons decorate their bodies with gems and... read more
