b) Against vain self-praise and presumptionChap. 27(With an admonition to prudence and frugality in agriculture: Proverbs 27:23-27)1 Boast not thyself of to-morrow,for thou knowest not what a day will bring forth.2 Let another praise thee and not thine own mouth,a stranger and hot thine own lips.3 Stone is heavy and sand weighty;the fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.4 Anger is cruel and wrath is outrageous;but who can stand before jealousy ?5 Better is open... read more

Making the Most of Life Proverbs 27:1-27 INTRODUCTORY WORDS God has given to each of us a life freighted with many privileges and with many opportunities. There is a little verse in the New Testament which reads: "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." We need to know how to redeem every moment, and to make the best of each day, as it is passing by. We have five observations taken from the opening verses of today's chapter. 1. The brevity of life. Proverbs 27:1 tells us, "Boast not... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 27:1-27

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 27:1

Of tomorrow; of any good thing which thou purposest to do or hopest to receive to-morrow, or hereafter; the thee being here put metonymically for things done or had in the thee, as Deuteronomy 4:32; Ecclesiastes 2:23. The same caution is given James 4:13, &c. What a day may bring forth; what may happen in the space of one day, which may hinder thy designs or expectations. The day is said to bring forth what God by his almighty power and providence doth either cause or suffer to be brought... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 27:1

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 27:1DIVINE PROPERTYI. A possession exclusively Divine. Both the distant and the immediate future belong to God alone; not only does He possess the exclusive control of what shall be in a hundred years to come, but to-morrow, and even the next hour and minute, are exclusively His. There is, doubtless, an existence beyond time where God’s creatures can look forward to the future with more certainty than can man in his present condition, but it does not belong to even... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 27:2

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 27:2SELF PRAISEI. Merit will win the praise of others. The light of the sun makes its existence felt by every man who is possessed of vision, and there are but few men who do not acknowledge that it is a good and pleasant thing. The perfume of the flowers cannot be hidden while there are creatures endowed with the sense of smell, and their fragrance is so grateful and refreshing to us, that it is sure to win from us an acknowledgment of its existence and expressions... read more
