v. 19. A man of great wrath, one who cannot control his temper. shall suffer punishment; for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again, that is, to interfere with a wrathful man with the purpose of saving him from his own foolishness usually makes matters worse; he must learn to govern himself. read more

δ) Admonition to humility, mildness, and gentlenessChap. 191 Better is the poor that walketh in his integritythan he that is perverse in speech and is a fool.2 Where the soul hath no knowledge there likewise is no good,and he that is of a hasty foot goeth astray.3 The foolishness of man ruineth his way,yet against Jehovah is his heart angry.4 Wealth maketh many friends,but the poor is parted from his friend.5 A false witness shall not go unpunished,and he that speaketh lies... read more

Verse Proverbs 19:7. This is the only case in this first collection of proverbs in which we find three clauses. It is certainly most likely that the third clause is incomplete. Something has been lost. If this be not so, then the proverb which sets forth the extremely pitiable condition of the poor ends by declaring that to him the promises of friends are not fulfilled. Verse Proverbs 19:16. Here "he that is careless of his ways" simply means, of course, "he that keepeth not the commandment."... read more
James Nisbet
James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 19:21
MAN PURPOSES, GOD DISPOSES‘There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.’ Proverbs 19:21 The text plainly implies a great disconformity—a want of coalescence between the designs of man and God; an estranged spirit of design on the part of man. And the case actually is so in the world. Many of the designs in men’s hearts are formed independently of God; many in contrariety to Him. I. Independently of Him.—In what proportion of men’s internal... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 19:1-29
Proverbs Of Solomon Part 2 (Proverbs 15:22 to Proverbs 22:16 ). At this point there is a sudden switch from proverbs which contrast one thing with another, which have been predominant since Proverbs 10:1, to proverbs where the second clause adds something to the first. Whilst we still find some contrasting proverbs, especially at the beginning, they are not so common. This may suggest a deliberate intention by Solomon to separate his proverbs into two parts. Furthermore such a change at this... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 19:1-29
Proverbs 19. A shrewd turn of sarcasm in Proverbs 19:3 suggests the attitude of practical wisdom towards that questioning of the moral government of the world which we find in Job. Proverbs 19:1 . fool: read “ rich,” as in Proverbs 28:6. Proverbs 19:2 a. Both RV and RVm are unsound grammatically. The lit. rendering shows that the clause is defective, “ Also without knowledge of the soul . . . is not good.” Some verb expressing action is required. Proverbs 19:2 b. sinneth: read mg. The idea... read more
