Proverbios 14:22-23 RVA

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 14:22

See here, 1. How miserably mistaken those are that not only do evil, but devise it: Do they not err? Yes, certainly they do; every one knows it. They think that by sinning with craft and contrivance, and carrying on their intrigues with more plot and artifice than others, they shall make a better hand of their sins than others do, and come off better. But they are mistaken. God's justice cannot be out-witted. Those that devise evil against their neighbours greatly err, for it will certainly... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 14:23

Note, 1. Working, without talking, will make men rich: In all labour of the head, or of the hand, there is profit; it will turn to some good account or other. Industrious people are generally thriving people, and where there is something done there is something to be had. The stirring hand gets a penny. It is good th 40cb erefore to keep in business, and to keep in action, and what our hand finds to do to do it with all our might. 2. Talking, without working, will make men poor. Those that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 14:22

Do they not err that devise evil ?.... Certainly they do; they go astray from the right way, from the word of truth, from the Gospel of Christ, who contrive schemes to commit sin, and do mischief to their neighbours; or who "plough" F20 חרש "arant", Baynus; "arantibus", Amama; "verbum proprie significat arare", Piscator. it, and sow it, and expect a fine harvest; but they will be mistaken, and find it will not turn to account, and that they have took a wrong course, and have gone out... read more

In all labour there is profit ,.... Or "abundance" F21 מותר "abundantia", Tigurine version, Baynus, Mercerus, Gejerus. ; much is got by it, food, raiment, riches, wealth, wisdom, honour; either with the labour of the hands or head, and nothing is to be got without labour; and he that is laborious in his calling, whether it be by manual operation, working with his hands that which is good; or by hard study, much reading, and constant meditation, is like to gain much for his own use... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 14:23

In all labor there is profit - If a man work at his trade, he gains by it; if he cultivate the earth, it will yield an increase; and in proportion as he labors, so will be his profit: but he who talks much labors little. And a man words is seldom a man of deeds. Less talk and more work, is one of our own ancient advices. read more

Causes and effects To grasp this principle—there is nothing causeless and unaccountable in life—and to apply it is one of the main principles of wisdom. Let us note some of its applications— I. TO SOCIAL RELATIONS . 1 . Poverty an object of dislike, and riches magnetic of good will. ( Proverbs 14:20 .) Widespread parallels may be found in ancient literature to this saying. Its truth is equally obvious today. It is a truth of human nature, and has its bad and its good... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 14:22

Do they not err that devise evil? or, Will they not go astray ? The question is an emphatic mode of asserting the truth. They who meditate and practise evil ( Proverbs 3:29 ; Proverbs 6:14 ) go astray from the right way—the way of life; their views are distorted, and they no longer see their proper course. Thus the remorseful voluptuary bemoans himself, "We have erred from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness hath not shined unto us We wearied ourselves in the way of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 14:23

In all labour there is profit. All honest industry has a reward, and all care and pain borne for a good object bring comfort and content (comp. Proverbs 10:22 ). So the Greek distich says— ἅπαντα τὰ καλὰ τοῦ πονοῦντος γίγνεται "To him who labours all fair things belong." In contrast to the diligent are those who talk much and do nothing. But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury ( Proverbs 21:5 ). Those who work much get profit; those who talk much and do little come... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 14:23

Talking and toiling These words contain solid and valuable truth; that truth does not, however, exclude the facts— I. THAT MUCH LABOUR IS WORSE THEN USELESS . All that which is conceived and carried out for the purpose of destruction, or of fraud, or of vice, or of impiety. Only too often men give themselves infinite trouble which is worse than thrown away, the putting forth of which is sin, the end of which is evil—misery or even ruin and death. II. THAT MUCH ... read more
