Proverbs 19:6-13 ASV

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 19:9

A false witness shall not be unpunished ,.... See Gill on Proverbs 19:5 ; and he that speaketh lies shall perish ; or "be lost", shall be undone for ever; he shall not enter into the holy city, but have his part in the lake of fire: they that speak lies in hypocrisy, doctrinal ones, and are given up to believe and profess them, such shall be damned, 2 Thessalonians 2:11 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 19:10

Delight is not seemly for a fool ,.... Such an one as Nabal, whose name and nature were alike; and whose prosperity ill became him, and the mirth and delight he had in it, 1 Samuel 25:25 ; for, as the wise man elsewhere says, "the prosperity of fools shall destroy them", Proverbs 1:26 ; they do not know how to make a right use of their prosperity; nor to moderate their enjoyments, pleasures, and delights. Some understand this of spiritual delight in the Lord; in his ways and ordinances,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 19:11

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger ,.... That he does not show it immediately; but takes time to consider of the offence given him, and makes use of a proper time to resent what is fit should be resented; he is a wise and discreet man that is slow to anger, Proverbs 14:29 . He is most like to God, who is "longsuffering, abundant in goodness and truth", Exodus 34:6 ; and it is to the honour of his "name" that he "defers his anger", and "refrains from" cutting off those that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 19:12

The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion ,.... Which is very terrible when hungry, and is after its prey, and has got it. Kings, especially tyrannical ones, are compared to lions; as Nebuchadnezzar by Jeremiah, Jeremiah 4:17 ; and Nero by the Apostle Paul, 2 Timothy 4:7 ; and the rage of such is very dreadful, as Ahasuerus's was to Haman. Jarchi interprets the king, of the holy blessed God. It may be applied to Jesus Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah; who is said to cry with a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 19:13

A foolish son is the calamity of his father ,.... Or, "the calamities of his father" F17 הוות "calamitates", Vatablus; "aerumnae", Piscator, Michaelis; "causa aerumnarum", Junius & Tremellius. ; he brings them to him. A very great affliction he is, and which has many distresses and sorrows in it; as loss of reputation and credit in his family, which is sunk by his behaviour, instead of being supported and increased; loss of substance, through extravagance and riotous living,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 19:7

Do hate him - They shun him as they do the person they hate. They neither hate him positively, nor love him: they disregard him; they will have nothing to do with him. שנא sana signifies not only to hate, but to show a less degree of love to one than another. So Jacob loved Rachel, but hated Leah - showed her less affection than he did to Rachel. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 19:10

Delight is not seemly for a fool - תענוג taanug , splendid or luxurious living, rank, equipage, etc. These sit ill on a fool, though he be by birth a lord. For a servant to have rule over princes - I pity the king who delivers himself into the hands of his own ministers. Such a one loses his character, and cannnot be respected by his subjects, or rather their subjects. But it is still worse when a person of mean extraction is raised to the throne, or to any place of power; he is... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 19:11

It is his glory to pass over a transgression - " No," says what is termed a man of honor; "he must meet me as a gentleman; I must have his blood, let God say what he will." O poor, dastardly coward! thou canst not bear the reproach of poor, flimsy, paltry fellows who ridicule thee, because thou hast refused to commit murder. Such laws should be put down by law; and the man that gives a challenge should be hanged, because he intends to commit murder. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 19:12

The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion - There is nothing more dreadful than the roaring of this tyrant of the forest. At the sound of it all other animals tremble, flee away, and hide themselves. The king who is above law, and rules without law, and whose will is his own law, is like the lion. This is strongly descriptive of the character of Asiatic sovereigns. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 19:13

The contentions of a wife are a continual dropping - The man who has got such a wife is like a tenant who has got a cottage with a bad roof through every part of which the rain either drops or pours. He can neither sit, stand work, nor sleep, without being exposed to these droppings. God help the man who is in such a case, with house or wife! read more
