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 27:7

The full soul, a man whose appetite or desire (which is oft expressed in Scripture by the name of soul) is fully satisfied, loatheth an honey-comb, the most delicious meats. The design of this proverb is to show the inconvenience that ofttimes attends upon plenty, and the advantage of poverty, that the rich might learn moderation, and the poor content. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 27:8

That wandereth from her nest; that flies very much abroad from place to place, whereby she is exposed to all the arts of fowlers, and to birds of prey, from which she is safe whilst she keeps her nest. That wandereth from his place; that through vanity or lightness changeth the place of his abode, or his calling and course of life, the ill effects whereof have been frequently observed and noted, even in vulgar proverbs, as when we say, A rolling stone gathers no moss. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 27:9

Rejoice the heart, by increasing and comforting the spirits. No less grateful and pleasant is the company and conversation of a true friend, in respect of his good and faithful counsel, which comes from his very heart and soul, and contains his most inward and serious thoughts, whereas deceitful persons give such counsels, not as they think to be best, but as most serve their lusts or designs. read more

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 27:7WANT OF APPETITEI. The value which men set upon things depends upon their condition and circumstances. When we look around upon our fellow-creatures, we can but remark the widely different estimates which different men place upon the same things, and also the different value which the same man attaches to the same object at different times. To begin as Solomon does, with our lower nature—there are hundreds of well-fed citizens in every community who look with... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 27:8. Place, rather “home.” Proverbs 27:9. This verse is obscurely rendered in the English version.
