no king. So we have no visible king, yet when "made wise" we see Him Who is invisible (John 14:19 . Compare 1 Peter 1:8 ). by bands = gathered together. So will God's People. Septuagint renders it by keleusmatos = at one word of command. Same word as the assembling shout in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 . Compare 1 Corinthians 15:23 , "in his own order" or rank. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 30:21

4"For three things the earth doth tremble,And for four which it cannot bear.For a servant when he is king;And a fool when he is filled with food;For an odious woman when she is married;And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress."The cases cited here are of people in relatively inferior positions who find themselves suddenly promoted; and the intimation of the passage is that, "They then become excessively pretentious, arrogant and disagreeable."[20] Some have discovered an element of humor in... read more

5"There are four things which are little upon the earth,But they are exceeding wise:The ants are a people not strong,Yet they provide their food in the summer;The conies are but a feeble folk,Yet make they their houses in the rocks;The locusts have no king,Yet go they forth all of them by bands;The lizard taketh hold with her hands,Yet is she in king's palaces."Other translations give us "badgers"[21] for `conies' in Proverbs 30:26, or "rock-rabbits,"[22] "mormats,"[23] or "the rabbit."[24] Why... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 30:29

6"There are three things which are stately in their march,Yea, four which are stately in going:The lion, which is mightiest among beastsAnd turneth not away for any;The greyhound; the he-goat also;And the king against whom there is no rising up.""Strutting cock"[28] replaces `greyhound' in many of the ancient versions; and the RSV has followed them.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 30:32

A SEXTET ON PRIDE AND ANGER"If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself,Or if thou hast thought evil,Lay thy hand upon thy mouth.For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter,And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood;But the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.""Forcing wrath" is a reference to "harping on a matter," continual complaining, criticizing, or in any other manner prosecuting another with exhibitions of one's displeasure or animosity. To do such a thing brings forth... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 30:21-23

Proverbs 30:21-23. For three things the earth is disquieted— We have here an answer to another enigmatical question, What things are most intolerable? Which he tells us are, 1. A slave who bears rule; 2. A fool over-fed; 3. A vicious wife in a family; 4. A servant-maid become mistress of the house. This is very clear, and but too well confirmed by experience. A slave, or a man of an obscure condition, and of a mean servile soul, who domineers over others, is a subject of vexation and pain to... read more
