Proverbs 3:2 . Length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. The premature death denounced against the profligate, and the victims of the harlot, shall be far from thy dwelling. The truth of this promise, of frequent occurrence in the sacred writings, is demonstrated by the longevity of many scripture characters; and eternal life, by way of apposition, is understood. Proverbs 3:3 . Bind them about thy neck. As vain persons decorate their bodies with gems and... read more

Proverbs 3:3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee.Mercy and truthAs the wings of the cherubim touched one another in the midst of the house, so Mercy and Truth are such a pair as will either lodge together or leave together. There was such a similitude of nature between the Twins of Love, eros and anteros, that at once they wept, and at once they smiled, they fell sick together, and they recovered jointly. Such are the Twins of Grace, Truth, and Mercy; she that would have them out in twain and... read more

Proverbs 3:4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.The commencement of the religious lifeThere was a moment in our existence when we committed our first sin; and there was a moment when we first lifted up our hearts in prayer and thanksgiving to our Father in heaven. None of us probably recollect either of these moments.I. What do we mean by a religious life? How are we to live to maintain our own self-respect, to be morally pure, to be acceptable to God,... read more

Proverbs 3:5Trust in the Lord . . . lean not to thine own understanding.Reason and faithThe question is, not whether we shall use reason, but what are its limits? Shall we accept only what we can understand and explain, and refuse all which does not quadrate with our reason? Is Faith, with her delicate ear, her quick sensibility, and wondrous prescience, to have no place? In the power of modern reason can we know every inch of our way?1. How is it in the business world? The activities of men... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 3:3

Pro 3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: Ver. 3. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee, ] That is, True mercy; not that which is natural or moral only, but that which is right, both quoad fontem, and quoad finem. They that do otherwise, as heathens and hypocrites, lay up their treasure in the eyes and ears of men, which is a chest that hath neither lock nor key to keep it. Bind them. ] That is, My commandments. He seems... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 3:4

Pro 3:4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Ver. 4. So shalt thou find favour. ] As did Joseph, Moses, David. He was a man after God’s own heart, and whatsoever he did pleased the people. It is God that gives credit; he fashioneth men’s opinions, and inclineth their hearts, as Ezra oft acknowledges with much thankfulness. Ezr 7:27-28 read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 3:5

Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Ver. 5. Trust in the Lord. ] To trust in God is to be unbottomed of thyself, and of every creature, and so to lean upon God, that if he fail thee thou sinkest. Confidence is the least, and yet the best we can render to the Lord, for hereby we acknowledge his sovereignty, and set the crown upon his head, as it were. See Judges 9:15 . And lean not to thine own understanding. ] Which, because men do, hence... read more
