Proverbs 3:9-11 ASV

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Proverbs 3:1-12

the Results of Trusting Jehovah Proverbs 3:1-12 How replete with helpful instruction on the policy of life is this paragraph! The young of both sexes are invited to be merciful in their judgments or dealings, and faithful in the discharge of their responsibilities or duties. These are two prime qualifications for a right attitude toward God and man. The perplexed are bidden to distrust their own understanding and to trust in God for guidance. If you do not see your way, wait till God... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 3:1-35

As the former address had to do with the search for wisdom, this, in view of the value of if is an appeal to cultivate wisdom. The appeal consists of a declaration of its essence (verses Pro 3:1-10 ), a description of its excellence (verses Pro 3:11-20 ), and a declaration of the safety which it brings (verses Pro 3:21-35 ). The essence of wisdom consists in a determined devotion to the things of wisdom. The inspiration of this is next described as life lived in relation to Jehovah. Perfect... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Proverbs 3:1-12

Lest We Forget Proverbs 3:1-12 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Book of Proverbs speaks several times of the danger of forgetting God and His Commandments. We are firmly convinced that herein is a danger that we all need to consider with care. We will consider several warnings about forgetting, that are to be found in Deuteronomy and in the Psalms. 1. Forget not His Covenant (Deuteronomy 4:23-31 ). God never forgets His pledges to His people. It is interesting to study His Covenant to Abraham... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:1-10

Introductory Exhortation Followed By The Requirement To Trust In YHWH, To Fear YHWH And To Honour YHWH (Proverbs 3:1-10 ). Solomon here speaks of wisdom and understanding in terms of ‘my torah -- my commandments’. It is observance of these that will ensure longevity and wellbeing. In view of the Scriptural precedents for these words (Exodus 24:12; Deuteronomy 30:10 ’; Jos 22:5 ; 1 Kings 2:3; etc.) it is clear that Solomon see his wisdom as complementary to the Torah and therefore to YHWH’s... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:1-35

Prologue To The Book (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18 ). It was common throughout the 3rd to the 1st millenniums BC for collections of wisdom saying to have a prologue preparing for the ‘sayings’ that would follow. Those sayings would then be introduced by a subheading. Proverbs thus follows the usual precedent in having such a prologue in Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18, followed by general sayings in Proverbs 10:1 ff headed by a subheading (Proverbs 10:1). It was also common for such a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:11-20

YHWH As Chastening Father And Wise Creator Inculcates Wisdom And Understanding As A Tree Of Life To Those Whom He Loves (Proverbs 3:11-20 ). The reference to ‘my son’ in Proverbs 3:11 (although in the Hebrew text not at the beginning of the sentence) points to the opening of a new subsection in the passage (as does the fact that it follows the chiasmus in Proverbs 3:1-10). Here YHWH is seen as acting to ensure the reception of His wisdom by those whom He loves. And He does it by means of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:1-35

Proverbs 3:1-2 Samuel : . Fourth Discourse.— The sage exhorts the young man to heed his oral instruction ( torah) , and to trust in Yahweh, fear Him, and honour Him in the prescribed manner of firstfruits. It is interesting to find torah used in its earlier prophetic sense of oral instruction, without reference to its later sense of the whole body of legislation represented by the Pentateuch. The torah of the wise man represents not his own individual authority, but the accumulated wisdom of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 3:9

With thy substance; or, with thy riches. Lay out thy estate not only to please and advance thyself or family, but also to glorify God; which is done by the payment of all those offerings and dues which God hath required; by giving according to thy abilities whatsoever is necessary for the support and advancement of God’s worship and service in the world; by free and liberal contributions to those whom God hath made his deputies, and, as I may say, the receivers of his rents, to wit, faithful... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 3:10

This is not the way to diminish thy estate, as covetous and profane persons allege, but rather to increase it. Shall burst out; shall be so filled, that they would burst out, if not carefully prevented. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 3:11

Despise not the chastening of the Lord; either, 1. By making light of it, or not being duly affected with if; and so this is one extreme opposed to the other in the next clause. Or rather, 2. By accounting it an unnecessary, and useless, and troublesome thing; but rather esteem it as a privilege and favour from God, and a benefit to thyself; for such negatives do oft imply the contrary affirmatives by a common figure called meiosis, as Proverbs 17:21, and oft elsewhere. And this sense seems to... read more
