Proverbs WISDOM’S CALL Pro_1:20 - Pro_1:33 . Our passage begins with a striking picture. A fair and queenly woman stands in the crowded resorts of men, and lifts up a voice of sweet entreaty-authoritative as well as sweet. Her name is Wisdom. The word is in the plural in the Hebrew, as if to teach that in this serene and lovely form all manifold wisdoms are gathered and made one. Who then is she? It is easy to say ‘a poetical personification,’ but that does not add much to our... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Proverbs 1:1-19

“The Beginning of Knowledge” Proverbs 1:1-19 Notice the perfect balance of each clause, and the duplication of the one thought in the two clauses of each verse. Wisdom as used in this book is more than intellectual learning or cleverness. It represents a moral quality, the result of a pure and a true life. We are conscious that many simple-minded people, who have little enough book-learning, are remarkable for sagacious advice, insight into character, the wise reading of events, an... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Proverbs 1:20-33

the Call of Wisdom Proverbs 1:20-33 The word Wisdom and the description of her standing atthe head of the noisy streets- see Proverbs 1:21 , r.v., margin-remind us of our Lord, who, as the Word of God, stood and cried, John 7:37 . It is a remarkable picture of the world as it is today. The streets filled with traffickers, with the bawling of wares, with the crowds of idle sightseers, and amid it all the ringing appeal of Christ to the heart of man! But the scorners deride and mock, while... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 1:1-33

The Book of Proverbs is one of the wisdom books of the Hebrew people. Emotionally and fundamentally, wisdom is the fear of God; intellectually, a knowledge of the manifestations of the divine wisdom; and, volitionally, obedience rendered thereto. The first verse of this chapter constitutes the title of this Book, and the following six verses contain what we today would speak of as preface. That preface first declares the purpose of the Book in terms so simple as to need no comment (verses Pro... read more

The Proverbs of Solomon Proverbs 1:1-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Solomon's great choice. It was in Gibeon that the Lord appeared unto Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, "Ask what I shall give thee." We read that Solomon replied: "Thou hast shewed unto Thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before Thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee." Then Solomon continued: "And now, O Lord my God, Thou hast made Thy servant king instead of... read more

Wisdom's Call Proverbs 1:20-33 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Where the voice of Wisdom is heard. Wisdom doth not speak alone among the wise. She doth not sound forth her voice alone in cloistered circles, where the sanctified meet to discuss the ways of righteousness. Mark the force of, these words: 1. "Wisdom crieth without." 2. Wisdom "uttereth her voice in the streets." 3. Wisdom "crieth in the chief place of concourse." 4. Wisdom crieth "in the openings of the gates." (5) Wisdom uttereth her... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 1:8-33

Prologue To The Book (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18 ). It was common throughout the 3rd to the 1st millenniums BC for collections of wisdom saying to have a prologue preparing for the ‘sayings’ that would follow. Those sayings would then be introduced by a subheading. Proverbs thus follows the usual precedent in having such a prologue in Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18, followed by general sayings in Proverbs 10:1 ff headed by a subheading (Proverbs 10:1). It was also common for such a... read more

The Compelling Need To Avoid The Enticements Of Sinners Motivated By Greed (Proverbs 1:10-19 ). Solomon now vividly portrays the dangers of greed and violence, two things which often go together. The one who responds to God’s wisdom will avoid such enticements. The ideas are presented in chiastic fashion: A My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent (Proverbs 1:10). B If they say, Come with us, Let us lay in wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause (Proverbs... read more
