Proverbs 19:19-21 ASV

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 19:20

(Comp. Proverbs 8:10 ; Proverbs 12:15 .) The Septuagint directs the maxim to children, "Hear, O son, the instruction of thy father." That thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. Wisdom gathered and digested in youth is seen in the prudence and intelligence of manhood and old age. Job 8:7 , "Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase." Ecclesiasticus 25:6, "O how comely is the wisdom of old men, and understanding and counsel to men of honour! Much... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 19:20

Ready at the end The wise man always shows his wisdom by looking well before him. It is the sure mark of a fool to content himself with the immediate present. We do not wonder that proverbs should deal much with the future. "Passion and Patience" is the picture which is always being exhibited before the eyes of men. I. THE NEED OF READINESS AT THE END . "How shall we enjoy the present time?" asks one; "How shall we make ready for the end?" asks another and a wiser soul.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 19:21

The immutability of the counsel of God is contrasted with the shifting, fluctuating purposes of man (comp. Proverbs 16:1 , Proverbs 16:9 ; Numbers 23:19 ; Malachi 3:6 ). Aben Ezra connects this verse with the preceding, as though it gave the reason for the advice contained therein. But it is most natural to take the maxim in a general sense, as above Wis. 9:14, "The thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our devices are but uncertain." The counsel of the Lord, that shall stand ; ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 19:21

The mind of man and the mind of God Here is a contrast which we do well to consider. Between our human spiritual nature and that of the Divine Spirit it is possible to find resemblances and contrasts. Both are interesting and instructive. I. THE THOUGHTS OF MAN 'S MIND . We know how fugitive these are; how they come and go like the flash of the lightning; and even those which linger are but short-lived, they soon give place to others. Even those thoughts which become "fixed,"... read more

Proverbs 19:19. A man of great wrath Or, he who is of great wrath, that is, of strong passions; who is of a fierce and furious temper; shall suffer punishment Will certainly bring great mischiefs upon himself; for if thou deliver him If any parent, relation, or friend deliver him out of one trouble, through his ungovernable temper he will soon involve himself in another; and thou must do it again Thou wilt soon find it necessary to interpose for his deliverance a second, third, or... read more

Proverbs 19:20. Hear counsel, &c. Be willing to be taught and ruled; to be advised and reproved, when thou art young; that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end Before thy death come. Which he adds, not exclusively, as if a man ought not to be wise before, but emphatically, to show that how foolishly soever he may have spent his former and younger years, it highly and especially concerns him to be wise before it is too late, or before death comes. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 19:21

Proverbs 19:21. There are many devices in a man’s heart Which shall not stand, but be disappointed; many designs and contrivances, which he thinks to be so well devised and planned that they cannot miscarry. Nevertheless, the counsel of the Lord Which ofttimes contradicts, and therefore overrules or defeats the designs and purposes of men; that shall stand Shall certainly be fulfilled, and bring to pass whatever he pleases. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 19:1-29

Lessons heeded and ignored (19:1-29)Moral uprightness is more important than wealth, and wise action is more important than hasty action. People are foolish when they blame God for the trouble they bring upon themselves through their own mistakes (19:1-3).Often the reason the rich have many friends is that these ‘friends’ hope to gain personally from their wealth or influence (4-6). The poor lose their friends, though in a sense they are rich if they maintain their understanding (7-8). People... read more
