MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Proverbs 6:6-11INDUSTRY AND INDOLENCEA contrast. I. The industrious insect. 1. Nature is intended to be a moral teacher to man. The most saintly natures of ancient and modern times have regarded God’s works in this light, and God Himself has led the van in so often pointing man to animate and inanimate Nature for instruction and comfort.... read more

DISCOURSE: 767THE SLUGGARD REPROVEDProverbs 6:6-10. Go to the ant, thou sluggard: consider her ways and be wise: which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her fool in the harvest. How long wilt they sleep. O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: so shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.FORESIGHT in relation to temporal... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 6:1-35

Now let us turn to Proverbs, chapter 6. The first part of the Proverbs is exhortation to my son. It's just good fatherly advice to sons. And chapter 6 continues in these exhortations that are opened by the phrase:My son, if you be surety for thy friend, or if you have stricken hands with a stranger, you've become snared with the words of your mouth, you've been taken with the words of your mouth. Now do this, and deliver yourself, my son, when you've come to the hand of your friend; go, and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 6:1-35

Proverbs 6:1 . If thou be surety for thy friend. If charity has gained an ascendancy over the judgment, prepare to perform thy covenant. To aid a friend in poverty is a generous deed, it is lending without hope: but to bind one’s self in cases of speculation may incur a serious loss, without real advantage to another. Proverbs 6:3 . When thou art come into the hand of thy friend. The sense is intricate. The LXX read, When thou art come into the hands of rigorous men for thy friend; go,... read more

Proverbs 6:6Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Little preachers and great sermonsThere is a twofold revelation of God--in the Bible and in nature. In relation to this revelation, men divide into three classes--1. Those who study neither. Their intellects are submerged in animalism and worldliness.2. Those who study one and disparage the other. Some devout Christians regard nature as not sufficiently sacred and religious for their investigation. Some scientific men try... read more

Proverbs 6:7Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler.Overseers neededWhen I began to employ workmen in this country (Palestine), nothing annoyed me more than the necessity to hire also an overseer, or to fulfil this office myself. But I soon found that this was universal and strictly necessary. Without an overseer very little work would be done, and nothing as it should be. The workmen, every way unlike the ant, will not work at all unless kept to it, and directed in it by an overseer, who is... read more

Pro 6:6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Ver. 6. Go to the ant, thou sluggard. ] Man, that was once the captain of God’s school, is now, for his truantcy, turned down into the lowest form as it were, to learn his A B C’s again; yea, to be taught by these lowest creatures.
