John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 15:26

The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord ,.... They are known unto the Lord, who is the searcher of the heart, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of it; he knows they are vain and sinful, yea, that they are only evil, and that continually, and therefore are hateful and abominable to him; it may be rendered "the thoughts of evil", as by the Targum; or evil thoughts, as the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and the Oriental versions; but Aben Ezra interprets as we, the... read more

He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house ,.... Or "that covets a covetousness" F20 בוצע בצע "appetens concupiscentiam", Montanus; "qui avaritiam inhiat" Tigurine version; "concupiscens concupiscentiam", Vatablus. , an evil one, as in Habakkuk 2:9 ; that seeks riches by unlawful means, that gathers the mammon of falsehood, or unrighteousness, as the Targum; he entails a curse and brings ruin and destruction upon his family; the Septuagint and Arabic versions are, he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 15:28

The heart of the righteous studieth to answer ,.... He thinks before he speaks, meditates what he shall say, what answer to give to men; whether in things civil, natural, or religious; and what to return to the Lord when he is reproved by him; or what to say in prayer to him, or by way of thankfulness for mercies received from him; see Proverbs 3:6 ; though our Lord advises his disciples, when summoned before their persecutors, not to meditate beforehand what they should answer, since they... read more

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

The Lord is far from the wicked ,.... Not as to his essence or powerful presence, which is everywhere, for he is God omnipresent; but with respect to his favour and good will, he is far from helping in distress, and from hearing their cries when they apply unto him in desperate circumstances; nor does he admit them to nearness and communion with him now, as he does the righteous; nor will he receive them to himself at the last day, but bid them depart from him; they are far from him and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 15:30

The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart ,.... Not so much the visive power, the faculty of seeing, a strong and clear eyesight; though this is a great mercy, and from the Lord, and to be prized, and does give joy of heart; but rather the objects seen by the light of the eyes, as Jarchi; as green gardens, flowing rivers, pleasant meadows, rising hills, lowly vales, herbs, plants, trees, birds, beasts, and creatures of every kind; nor is the eye ever satisfied with seeing; especially light... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 15:31

The ear that heareth the reproof of life ,.... That is given according to the word of life, in a warm, fervent, and lively manner, with zeal, and in good earnest; which reproves the life of another by his own, as well as by words; and which tends to the spiritual and eternal life of the person reproved; being taken, a man that diligently hearkens to, kindly and cordially receives, and cheerfully obeys such reproof given him, abideth among the wise ; he not only chooseth to be among them,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 15:32

He that refuseth instruction ,.... The instruction of parents, masters, ministers, and of God himself; or "correction" F25 מוסר "correctionem", Pagninus, Vatablus; "qui abstrahit se a castigatione", Piscator. , instruction either by the word or by the rod; he that withdraws himself from it, will not be in the way of it, that shuns, neglects, and despises it, or carelessly and contemptuously attends it: despiseth his own soul ; shows that he makes no account of it, has no regard... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 15:33

The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom ,.... It is "the beginning of wisdom", Proverbs 9:10 ; it leads unto it, instructs a man in it; by means of it he attains to true spiritual and evangelical wisdom; it teaches him to abstain from sin, and to serve the Lord; and to seek the salvation of his soul in the way God has appointed, which is by his Son Jesus Christ, which to do is the highest wisdom; and before honour is humility ; the fear of God and humility go together,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 15:27

He that is greedy of gain - He who will be rich; troubleth his own house - he is a torment to himself and his family by his avariciousness and penury, and a curse to those with whom he deals. But he that hateth gifts - Whatever is given to pervert judgment. read more
