Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 22:1-29

Proverbs 22:1 . A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches. When a man lives revered for his piety, it is better than to be feared for his power. Proverbs 22:2 . The rich and the poor meet together, in the common dust: and the small and great stand at the judgment-seat of God.

Proverbs 22:16He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches . . . shall surely come to want. AvariceI. Oppression. “He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches “(R.V., “gain”). Everywhere do we see avarice working out its designs, and building up its fortunes by oppressing the poor.

But avarice cares nothing for the health, the liberty,... read more

It is a “pleasant thing.” What said Paul? “I count all things but loss for the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 22:16

Pro 22:16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his [riches, and] he that giveth to the rich, [shall] surely [come] to want. Ver. 16. He that oppresseth the poor, &c. ] By fraud or force, or any indirect means. This man lays his foundation in firework, Job 20:26 he walks upon a mine of gunpowder; "brimstone is scattered upon his habitation"; Job 18:15 if but a flash of God’s lightning light upon it, all will be on fire, all blown up and brought to nothing. And he that giveth to the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 22:17

Pro 22:17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. Ver. 17. Bow down thine ear and hear. ] Here begins, say some interpreters, the third book of Solomon’s Proverbs - as the second began at chapter ten. And indeed he here seems to assume a new kind of bespeaking his son, different from his discourse in the preceding twelve chapters; and much like that in the first nine. And apply thy heart, &c. ] q.d., Call up the ears of thy mind to... read more

Pro 22:18 For [it is] a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. Ver. 18. For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee. ] Heb., In thy belly; that is, in thine inwards. Truth it is, that St John found the little book he ate - whether we understand it of the revelation only, or of the whole Bible, which Bishop Bonner’s chaplain called in scorn his little pretty God’s book, it much matters not - bitter in his belly, though sweet in his... read more
