Proverbs 15:22-24

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 15:23

Proverbs 15:23 I. It is of importance to take notice of that habit which is opposed to the duty for which the text contends; I mean the habit of reserve. It would be a grievous mistake to suppose that this habit is wholly a bad one. But the important point to notice is, that the reaction against the counterfeit of devotion is likely to rob us of what was intended by God to be a true aid to devotion. How often have we seen persons of the greatest ability, and the purest hearts, who yet dared... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 15:1-33

Chapter 15Fifteen. I love this first one here.A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger ( Proverbs 15:1 ).How oftentimes a person comes just raging and a soft answer turns away wrath. If you rage back at them, then get out the gloves, you know, because you're soon going to be going at it. But a soft answer, how it can just mellow out a situation. Oh God, help us to respond with soft answers rather than with grievous words which only tend to stir up the whole scene.The... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 15:1-33

Proverbs 15:1 . A soft answer turneth away wrath. It bows to the tempest, it names a mitigating circumstance, it gives a favourable turn to misconstruction, it proposes a better way. My father, said the wary Syrian, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldst thou not have done it? How much rather then, when he says, wash, and be clean? Rehoboam, for the want of this wisdom, lost the ten tribes; whereas the intelligent woman on the wall, who wished to speak with Joab, saved the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 15:22

Pro 15:22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. Ver. 22. Without counsel purposes are disappointed. ] The word here rendered "counsel" signifies ‘secret,’ because counsel should be kept secret; which to signify, the old Romans, as Servius testifieth, built the temple of Consus, their god of counsel, sub tecto in circo, in a public place, but under a covert; and it grew to a proverb, Romani sedendo vincunt; The Romans, by... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 15:23

Pro 15:23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word [spoken] in due season, how good [is it]! Ver. 23. A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth. ] It reflects comfort upon a man when he hath spoken discreetly to the benefit and good content of others. Some degree of comfort follows every good action, as heat accompanies fire, as beams and influence issue from the sun; which is so true, that very heathens, upon the discharge of a good conscience, have found comfort and peace... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 15:24

Pro 15:24 The way of life [is] above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. Ver. 24. The way of life is above to the wise. ] He goes a higher way than his neighbour, even in his common businesses, because they are done in faith and obedience. He hath his feet where other men’s heads are, and, like a heavenly eagle, delights himself in high flying. Busied he may be in mean, low things, but not satisfied in them as adequate objects. A wise man may sport with children, but that is... read more
