Paul E. Kretzmann
The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 26:1-16
Concerning Fools and Sluggards v. 1. As snow in summer and as rain in harvest, either possibility being suggested as something altogether unfitting, not to be expected, so honor is not seemly for a fool, it is not proper that he should have it, he is altogether unworthy of it. v. 2. As the bird by wandering, the sparrow flitting along, as the swallow by flying, the aimlessness of their ordinary flight being the point of comparison, so the curse causeless shall not come, that is, if it is... read more

2. Various Warnings, viz.:a) Against dishonorable conduct,(especially folly, sloth and malice)Chap. 261 As snow in summer and rain in harvest,so honor befitteth not the fool.2 As the sparrow flitting, as the swallow flying,so the curse undeserved: it cometh not.3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass,and a rod for the fool’s back.4 Answer not a fool according to his folly,lest thou be like him.5 Answer a fool according to his folly,lest he become wise in his own... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 26:1-28
Verse Proverbs 26:2. Therefore, if the heart knows that a curse is unjust it may rest in the certainty that it cannot harm. Verses Proverbs 26:3-12. In this group of proverbs the fool is the subject. The true method of dealing with him is that of chastisement. Caution is needed in answering him lest his folly be shared; and, on the other hand, lest he be not reproved. The fool is not to be trusted. A parable of a fool is useless. Give a fool honor, and it is to offer it where it is useless.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 26:1-28
A Collection Of Solomon’s Proverbs (Proverbs 10:1 to Proverbs 29:27 ). Solomon’s presentation of The Book of Proverbs has followed the pattern of much Wisdom literature. This commenced with the initial heading detailing the details of the author and his purpose in writing (Proverbs 1:1-7), continued with a Prologue which laid the foundation for what was to follow (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18), and was then followed by the body of the work introduced by one or more subheadings. In Solomon’s... read more

Proverbs 26:1-2 Kings : . The Book of Fools.— A section containing a series of synthetic couplets dealing with folly (except Proverbs 26:2). The text is unusually corrupt and defective. Proverbs 26:1 . For the opposite use of snow in harvest cf. Proverbs 25:13 *. Proverbs 26:2 . Directed against the superstitious belief in the magical value of a curse. The simile refers to the aimless wandering of a bird, and is not to be compared with the flying roll of curses in Zechariah 5:1-Numbers :.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 26:16
Is wiser in his own conceit, because by his idleness he avoids those troubles and dangers to which other men by their activity expose themselves, forgetting in the mean thee what reproach and loss, and how much greater mischiefs, both here and hereafter, are brought upon him by his slothfulness. That can render a reason, to wit, a satisfactory reason, of all their actions, i.e. who are truly wise men. read more
