Proverbs 12:22-25 ASV

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 12:21-22

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 12:21ALL WORKING FOR THE GOOD OF THE RIGHTEOUSThe first clause cannot, of course, mean that nothing that appears evil—that no sorrow or loss happens to the just. Such an assertion would be contrary to other teachings of Scripture, as well as to experience and history. The righteousness of the first man who is called righteous (Luke 11:51) led to his murder. If Joseph had been a less virtuous man, the iron of imprisonment would not have entered into his soul (Psalms... read more

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 12:23THE CONCEALMENT OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE PROCLAMATION OF FOOLISHNESSI. The concealment of knowledge is always a mark of self-control. It proves that a man has himself “well in hand.” He is like a skilful workman whose tools are all arranged in order, so that he can select or reject them according to his need, or the need of others. Or he resembles a skilful rider who is thoroughly master of his steed, and can either arrest his course or urge him to put forth all his... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 12:24

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 12:24THE REWARD OF DILIGENCEI. What is here meant by diligence? It is not being always active, but active in the right direction—active in the right use of talents and opportunities. There is an activity that is worse than idleness, an activity that brings men into contempt and bondage instead of enabling them to rule themselves or others. Men may have great talent and keep it in constant exercise, and yet their diligent use of it may be destroying both themselves... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 12:25

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 12:25HEAVINESS OF HEART AND ITS CUREI. The causes of “heaviness of heart” are many and various. It may arise, 1. From great bodily pain. The human mind and the human body act and re-act upon each other. The mind or spirit may be made heavy by physical pain, as the body may be brought under the dominion of disease by mental suffering. It is only when a more powerful influence comes into operation that pain of body is prevented from exercising a depressing influence... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 12:22

Proverbs 12:22 I. To tell lies is pitiful and mean. Nobody who is honourable and high-minded will stoop to do it. Even when we suffer for telling the truth, it is far better to have the courage to stick to it. II. Lying is a hateful thing, because it has brought so much misery into the world. The safety and happiness of God's children depend on their telling the truth. III. Lying is wicked. Wrong-doing consists in disobeying God's holy laws, and since He so positively bids us tell the truth,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 12:1-28

Chapter 12Whoso loves instruction loves knowledge: but he who hates reproof is brutish ( Proverbs 12:1 ).And there's a lot in the Proverbs about instructing a wise man and he will love you. Instruct a fool and he will hate you. And a fool hateth instruction, and so forth. And the value of loving instruction, receiving instruction.A good man obtains favor of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will be condemned by God. A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 12:1-28

Proverbs 12:4 . A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband, as illustrated at large in chap. 31. Proverbs 12:9 . He that is despised, and hath a servant. There are various comments here. He that is despised, as a plebeian, and hath a servant; others say, and hath many servants, is better than the baron lost in poverty and debts. In the east, the rank of a man is known, not so much by the splendour of his carriage, as by the number of footmen which attend him. Absalom had fifty men to... read more

Proverbs 12:22Lying lips are abomination to the Lord.On lyingMan excels the rest of the creatures in the power of communicating thoughts one to another. The creatures are taught, by nature, almost immediately, how to supply their wants. But we are purposely formed to need and to give help in everything, through the whole of our days; and therefore some ready and extensive method of signifying mutually whatever passes within our minds was peculiarly necessary for us. Without this no person would... read more
