Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 22:1-29
Proverbs 22:1 . A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches. When a man lives revered for his piety, it is better than to be feared for his power. Proverbs 22:2 . The rich and the poor meet together, in the common dust: and the small and great stand at the judgment-seat of God. Therefore the rich should consider the poor as brethren, and the poor should not be insolent to their benefactors. Proverbs 22:3 . A prudent man foreseeth the evil coming, be it famine, war or... read more

Proverbs 22:21That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth.CertaintiesThis is an age of inquiry. The ideas of the ancient world are the ideas of the childhood of the race. The Bible is a human book, which we reverence and love as a sacred treasure on account of the Divine spirit which pervades it. Do not place the Bible on the altar of superstition and imagine it to be God. Seek God in it, but with this caution--that all of it is not the actual Word of God. Why should any man... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 22:19
Pro 22:19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. Ver. 19. That thy trust may be in the Lord. ] Only a divine word can beget a divine faith, and herein the Scripture excels all human writings, none of which can bring our hearts to the "obedience of faith." I can speak it by experience, saith Erasmus, a that there is little good to be got by the Scripture, if a man read it cursorily and carelessly; but if he exercise himself therein constantly and... read more

Pro 22:21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee? Ver. 21.

Pro 22:22 Rob not the poor, because he [is] poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: Ver. 22. Rob not the poor, &c. ] Here some caviller will be apt to cry out, Quid dignum tauto feret hic promissor hiatu? After so promising a preface, and such wooing of attention, we looked for some new matter, and that of best note too. But behold here is nothing but what we had before. It is truth, saith the wise man; and yet I must tell you, that "to write the same things, to me indeed is not... read more
