The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 23:11
For their Redeemer is mighty. The redeemer ( goel ) is the near kinsman, who had to avenge bloodshed, carry on the blood feud, or vindicate the cause of a relation otherwise unsupported (see Numbers 25:12 , 19, 21; Le 25:25; Ruth 3:2 , Ruth 3:9 , Ruth 3:12 ).

He will, as it were, conduct their cause, try thee,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 23:12-18
Discipline in Divine wisdom I. THE TEMPER OF DOCILITY . ( Proverbs 23:12 .) It is submission of the affections to a higher law. It is the resignation of the will to a higher leading.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 23:1-35
Social-climbers and others (23:1-35)Those who seek status like to mix with the upper classes and try to copy their habits. But because of their ignorance of how to eat fine foods, they make fools of themselves and so spoil their chances of progressing up the social ladder. The food they desire becomes the means of their downfall (23:1-3). The desire for wealth can lead to disappointment (4-5), and the efforts to win the favour of others may win only their disfavour. This may particularly be the... read more
