Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 18:10-11

Proverbs 18:10-11 We have here the "strong tower" and the "strong city;" the man lifted up above danger on the battlements of the one, and the man fancying himself to be high above it (and only fancying himself) in the imaginary safety of the other. I. Consider first the two fortresses. One need only name them side by side to feel the full force of the intended contrast. On the one hand the name of the Lord, with all its depths and glories, with its blaze of lustrous purity and infinitudes of... read more

DISCOURSE: 797A WOUNDED SPIRITProverbs 18:14. The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity: but a wounded spirit who can bear?MAN being placed in a world where troubles of various kinds continually await him, he is endued with a firmness, of mind suited to the occasion, so that he is enabled to bear them with a considerable measure of composure and ease. Previously to the arrival of afflictions, they appear more formidable than they really are. We should suppose that poverty, and sickness,... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Proverbs 18:12

Pride and Humility August 17, 1856 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor is humility." Proverbs 18:12 . Almost every event has its prophetic prelude. It is an old and common saying, that "coming events cast their shadows before them;" the wise man teaches us the same lesson in the verse before us. When destruction walks through the land, it casts its shadow; it is in the shape of pride. When honor visits a man's house, it casts its... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 18:1-24

Chapter 18Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeks and intermeddleth with all wisdom. A fool has no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. When the wicked comes, then comes also contempt, and with ignominy reproach. The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment. A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 18:1-24

Proverbs 18:1 . Through desire a man having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom. יתגלע yithgalâ; this word occurs but thrice, and only in the book of Proverbs; viz. here, and in Proverbs 17:14; Proverbs 20:3. Solomon might have introduced it from some other nation. Rabbi Ezra says, it designates a man who travels for the acquisition of wisdom, and devotes himself to literature. Rabbi Levi gives the word a speculative turn, of one devoted to metaphysical studies,... read more

Proverbs 18:12Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.Honour and humilityI. Explain the nature of genuine humility.1. It does not consist in a mean and servile state of mind, in anything that is unworthy of the man or the Christian. Humility dignifies human nature; a spirit of servility degrades it. Some persons are naturally timid and faint-hearted. But this is mere human weakness.2. It does not consist in indulging a low and dejected frame of mind, or in... read more

Proverbs 18:14The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? Sustaining our infirmitiesThe sufferings of this life are not disproportioned to our strength to bear them. And the only evils that are intolerable and insupportable, are wholly owing to ourselves.I. What is meant by sustaining infirmities? Infirmities here, being opposed to a wounded spirit, must signify only external sufferings, whatever is grievous by afflicting, excepting the disorders and... read more

Proverbs 18:15-16The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge. The attainment of knowledge and the power of kindnessI. The attainment of knowledge. “The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge,” etc. It is suggested by the words that the attainment of knowledge requires two things.1. A heart for it. “The heart of the prudent.” There must, at least, be in every “heart,” a consciousness of its need. The opinionated, self-sufficient man, who is wise in his own conceit, will never get knowledge.... read more

Pro 18:11 The rich man’s wealth [is] his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. Ver. 11. The rich man’s wealth is his strong city.] It is hard to have wealth, and not to trust to it. Matthew 19:24 1 Timothy 5:17 ; see the notes there But wealth was never true to those that trusted it; there is an utter uncertainty, 1Ti 5:17 a nonentity, Pro 23:5-6 an impotence to help in the evil day, Zep 1:18 an impossibility to stretch to eternity, unless it be to destroy the owner for ever.... read more
