Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Proverbs 29:1-27

d) Against stubbornness and insubordinationChap. 291          He that being often reproved hardeneth his neckshall suddenly be destroyed and without remedy.2     When the righteous increase the people rejoice,but when a wicked man ruleth the people mourn.3     He that loveth wisdom maketh his father glad,but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.4     The king will establish the land by judgment,but a man (fond) of bribes destroyeth it.5     A man who flattereth his... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 29:1-27

Verse Proverbs 29:2. The sentiment of this proverb often recurs. On the surface it hardly appears to be true. To observe long issues is to be convinced of the absolute accuracy of the sentiment. Verse Proverbs 29:8. A fine motto for engraving on the walls of the Foreign Office of any nation. Verse Proverbs 29:13. That is to say, all intelligence is a divine gift, whether it be used in righteousness or in wickedness. Sin is always the prostitution of a God-given power to base purposes. Verse... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Proverbs 29:1-27

The Way of the Righteous Proverbs 29:1-27 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The time when God shall say "it is enough." Our verse, as a whole, reads thus: "He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy." Can you see written all over this verse, the voice of God saying, "Cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground"? Can you not read all through this verse, God's order, "Let the sickle fall"? He has pleaded, and pleaded often. He has reproved time and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 29:1-27

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 29:5

A man that flattereth his neighbour, that praiseth or applaudeth another in a sinful state or course, spreadeth a net for his feet; kills him under a pretence of kindness; is an occasion of his sin, and consequently of destruction, which possibly he may design to accomplish by that means. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 29:7

The righteous, whether magistrate, or any private person concerned to know it, and capable of helping him in it, considereth the cause of the poor; his poverty neither hinders him from taking pains to examine it, nor from a righteous determination of it. Regardeth not to know it; will not put himself to the trouble of searching it out, either because it yields him no profit, or because he resolves to give away his right. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 29:1-5

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 29:4. He that receiveth gifts. Zöckler translates this, “a man of taxes.” MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 29:1REPROOF AND DESTRUCTIONI. An act of benevolence which is often resented. When a child is reproved, and if need be chastised, for playing with the fire or neglecting its lessons, all reasonable people see that it is a kind act, and the child itself, when it has grown wiser, acknowledges that the reproof, even if it took the form of punishment, was an act of true... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 29:6-7

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 29:7. Considereth. Literally knoweth. Zöckler and Delitzsch translate the latter clause, “the godless discern, or understand not, knowledge.” MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 29:6A SNARE AND A SONGI. Sin deceives men. If a man digs a pit for the purpose of entrapping a victim, his great aim is to make the path over it as inviting as possible, and entirely to hide from sight the snare which he has laid, for, as Solomon tells us elsewhere, “Surely in vain the net is spread in... read more
