John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:12

If a ruler hearken to lies ,.... To men that tell them in order to soothe and flatter him, or to hurt the character and reputation of others, that they may raise their own: rulers should not listen to and encourage such sort of persons; for, as lying lips do not become a prince, so it is not right to have liars about him; David would not suffer such to dwell in his court, Psalm 101:7 ; all his servants are wicked ; or the greatest part of them: for a ruler of such a disposition will... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:13

The poor and the deceitful man meet together ,.... Or "the usurer" F17 איש תכבים "vir usurarum", Mercerus; "foenerator", Piscator, Tigurine version; "usurarius", Munster. ; who by usury, by fraud and deception, is possessed of the mammon of unrighteousness, and is become rich; he and the poor man meet together; and so the sense is the same as in Proverbs 22:2 ; See Gill on Proverbs 22:2 ; the Lord lighteneth both their eyes ; with the light of natural life, and with the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:14

The king that faithfully judgeth the poor ,.... That truly executes justice and judgment among all his subjects, particularly the poor, who are too often neglected, because they cannot afford persons to plead their cause: such a king was Solomon; and especially the Messiah, of whom he was a type, Psalm 72:1 ; his throne shall be established for ever ; be secure to him as long as he lives, and to his posterity after; justice to all men, and mercy to the poor, are the support of a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:15

The rod and reproof give wisdom ,.... Are the means of giving wisdom to a child, reproved by its parent with the rod; and of driving out foolishness from him, and of making him wiser for the time to come; he shunning those evils for which he was before corrected, Proverbs 22:15 ; So the children of God grow wiser by the corrections and chastisements of their heavenly Father, which are always for their good; and he is a man of wisdom that hearkens to the rod, and to him that has appointed... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:16

When the wicked are multiplied ,.... Or "are in authority" F18 ברבות "dominantibus impiis"; some in Mercerus; "quum praesunt impii", Tigurine version. ; as the word is rendered, Proverbs 29:2 ; transgression increaseth ; among the common people, being encouraged by their wicked rulers, whose examples they follow; or as the wicked themselves increase, in numbers, in age, in power, and riches, their sins increase too; but the righteous shall see their fall , from their places... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:17

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest ,.... Ease of mind, satisfaction and contentment, freedom from all anxious thoughts and cares; the correction being taken in good part, and succeeding according to wish and design; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul ; by his tenderness to his parents, obedience to them, and respect for them; by his prudent behaviour among men; by his sobriety, diligence, and industry in his calling; by his fear of God, and walking in his ways; than which... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 29:11

A fool uttereth all his mind - A man should be careful to keep his own secret, and never tell his whole mind upon any subject, while there are other opinions yet to be delivered; else, if he speak again, he must go over his old ground; and as he brings out nothing new, he injures his former argument. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 29:12

If a ruler hearken to lies - Wherever the system of espionage is permitted to prevail, there the system of falsity is established; for he who is capable of being a spy and informer, is not only capable of telling and swearing lies, but also of cutting his king's or even his father's throat. I have seen cases, where the same spy received pay from both parties, and deceived both. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 29:13

The poor and the deceitful man - It is difficult to fix the meaning of תככים techachim , which we here render the deceitful man. The Targum has, "The poor and the man of Little Wealth." The Septuagint, "The usurer and the Debtor." The Vulgate, "The poor and Creditor." Coverdale, "The poor and the Lender." Others, "The poor and the Rich;" "The poor and the Oppressors." I suppose the meaning may be the same as in Proverbs 22:2 ; (note): "The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 29:16

When the wicked are multiplied - That, in the multiplication of the wicked transgression is increased, requires no proof; but an important doctrine attaches to this. On this account wicked nations and wicked families are cut off and rooted out. Were it not so righteousness would in process of time be banished from the earth. This will account for many of the numerous instances in which whole families fail. read more
