Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 23:9
MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 23:9THE MORALLY INCURABLEI. A man may become morally incurable by human instructors. There are cases of bodily disease which it would be quite useless for the most skilful physician to attempt to cure; such an attempt would only be a throwing away of time and energy on his part which might be usefully employed upon another patient. And so there is at least one form of moral disease which is beyond the reach of human effort. It is that of the man who scoffs at... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 23:10-11
CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 23:11. Their Redeemer. Their Goel, or Avenger. In the Hebrew law this word is applied to the nearest kinsman. (See Ruth 3:12.)

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 23:12-28
CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 23:17. Let not thine heart envy, etc. The verb translated envy refers to both objects in the verse, and is better translated “strive after.” Miller renders it “be aglow.” “It is,” he says, “a verb expressive of all emotion.” (See Numbers 25:11-13.) Proverbs 23:18. Surely there is an end. Delitzsch here reads, “Truly there is a future.” “The root of the Hebrew,” says Miller, signifies afterward. Proverbs 23:20. Eaters of flesh. This may be translated “Devourers of their... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 23:1-35
Chapter 23Now the next three verses are coupled together.When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: And put a knife to your throat, if you be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat ( Proverbs 23:1-3 ).So you don't go in and start scarfing up the hors d'oeuvres, you know.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 23:1-35
Proverbs 23:1-2 . When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, and hast a princely feast before thee of meats and wines, put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. How many have stained their character at public dinners. Excision is the way to conquer crime. Every man must have an inexorable rule of temperance in his own breast, or he is lost. Cicero ridicules the man, natus abdomini, born for his belly. Christ has commanded us to cut off the right hand, and to pluck out... read more
