Zöckler and Hitzig understand this love to be that “which from false consideration dissembles, and does not tell his friend of his faults when it should do so.” Delitzsch thinks it refers to “love which is confined to the heart alone, like a fire which, when it burns secretly, neither lightens nor warms.” MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Proverbs 27:5-6; Proverbs 27:9-11; Proverbs 27:14TESTS OF FRIENDSHIPWe group these verses together because they... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 27:1-26

Chapter 27Boast not thyself of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring foRuth ( Proverbs 27:1 ).Very good. This is, of course, the idea is taken up in the New Testament book of James.

Proverbs 27:2 . Let another man praise thee. A man is sometimes compelled to speak of himself. But modesty often prefers speaking in the third person; as St. John, who says, “that disciple whom Jesus loved.” St. Paul, grievously mauled by the Jews at Corinth, says, “I knew a man about fourteen years ago such an one was caught up into the third heaven.” It is a man’s works, not his tongue, which memorializes his worth. Proverbs 27:5 . Open rebuke is better than secret love. For it is... read more
