Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 16:29

"A man of violence enticeth his neighbor, And leadeth him in a way that is not good."Behold here the wickedness of the violent man. He is the incarnation of Unbelief. "He robs God, takes life without paying for it, blasphemes the Maker on his throne, stares broadly at the truth when he hears it, and flouts it as if he never heard of it. Unbelief is violence."![30] "Such sons of the devil take pleasure in seducing the virtuous from the way of life. Just as there is joy in heaven over one sinner... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 16:30

"He that shutteth his eyes, it is to devise perverse things: He that compresseth his lips bringeth evil to pass.""One who winks his eye plans perverse things; one who compresses his lips brings evil to pass."[32] Frankenberg has this various reading, "He who fixes his eyes devises falsities, and marks out all evils with his lips. He is a furnace of wickedness."[33] As the passage stands in our version, the meaning is unclear. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 16:33

"The lot is cast into the lap; But the whole disposing thereof is of Jehovah"Making decisions by the casting of lots was widely practiced in the Old Testament; and even in the early days of the New Testament, Matthias was chosen to the apostleship by the casting of lots. "Casting lots was an ancient practice, animated by faith in God's government of the world."[34]"Following the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, the apostles never resorted to casting lots; and the Christian Church has... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 16:32

Proverbs 16:32. And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city— It is far beyond comparison easier to conquer enemies, to take citadels, to subject people, than to conquer passions, to moderate desires, to subdue evil habits, and repress the sallies of wrath and resentment. We read of but few celebrated conquerors who have not been subdued by some passion or other. Horace has finely expressed this sentiment, lib. 2: Obadiah 1:2. By virtue's precepts to controul The thirsty cravings... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 16:33

Proverbs 16:33. The lot is cast into the lap— Lots are to be considered in three different lights; or, more properly, they are of three distinct kinds. One sort is civil ballotting, of general use in states to prevent intrigues and partialities; another is a superstitious appeal to the imaginary deity, Chance, or Fortune; and there is yet a third, which is a reference of the event to heaven, by God's own direction and appointment. Of the second, or only reprehensible sort, revelation is... read more
