G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 22:1-29

Verse Proverbs 22:2. The question that naturally arises on reading this is, Where do they meet together? This proverb is often used as having reference to the sanctuary or house of prayer; but a very superficial examination of the actual condition of affairs will show that this use of the proverb is hardly warranted. The answer to the question is that in the sight of God, and in His dealing with them, they meet together. If one is looking for locality, let him look to the day of final... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 22:2

THE MAKER OF HIGH AND LOW‘The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is the Maker of them all.’ Proverbs 22:2 I. ‘The Lord is the Maker of them all.’—The God who creates light and darkness has created the happy and the wretched; there is no escape from this, if we believe in God at all. He cannot have created the human race and then have left it alone to rush into a social chaos and confusion of itself. Meantime we believe that the hand of God is upon all them for good that seek Him; though He... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 22:1-16

Proverbs Of Solomon Part 2 (Proverbs 15:22 to Proverbs 22:16 ). At this point there is a sudden switch from proverbs which contrast one thing with another, which have been predominant since Proverbs 10:1, to proverbs where the second clause adds something to the first. Whilst we still find some contrasting proverbs, especially at the beginning, they are not so common. This may suggest a deliberate intention by Solomon to separate his proverbs into two parts. Furthermore such a change at this... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 22:1-29

A Collection Of Solomon’s Proverbs (Proverbs 10:1 to Proverbs 29:27 ). Solomon’s presentation of The Book of Proverbs has followed the pattern of much Wisdom literature. This commenced with the initial heading detailing the details of the author and his purpose in writing (Proverbs 1:1-7), continued with a Prologue which laid the foundation for what was to follow (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18), and was then followed by the body of the work introduced by one or more subheadings. In Solomon’s... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 22:1-16

Proverbs 22:6 . in the way he should go puts more into the Heb. than it contains. It is lit. “ train up a child in proportion to his way”— i.e. train him suitably. The moral implication is absent. The stress is on the effect of training. Proverbs 22:11 . RV hides disorder of MT. Read, probably, “ The king loves the pure in heart, grace of lips is his good pleasure.” Proverbs 22:12 a is difficult. RV will not pass. The lit. Heb. is “ the eyes of Yahweh guard knowledge.” The abstract “... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 22:1

A good name, Heb. name put for good name, as Ecclesiastes 7:1, the word good being easily understood out of the next clause, in which it is expressed in the Hebrew text. A good reputation amongst wise and good men. Is rather to be chosen than great riches; partly, because it is a most special blessing from God, being appropriated to worthy persons, whereas God commonly throws away riches upon the basest of men; partly, because it gives a man that tranquillity and satisfaction of mind, and that... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 22:2

The rich and poor meet together; either, 1. In a way of hostility or opposition, as this word is sometimes used; the rich contemning and oppressing the poor, and the poor envying and purloining from the rich; and so the following words are a reason why that hostility should cease. Or, 2. In the way of mutual converse; they live together, and need one another. The Lord is the Maker of them all; not only as they are men, but also as they are poor or rich, which difference comes wholly from God’s... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 22:3

The evil; the calamity or judgment of God threatened and approaching. Hideth himself; retireth to his strong tower, mentioned Proverbs 18:10; by prayer and repentance putteth himself under the protection of the Almighty. Compare Isaiah 26:20. Pass on in their former road and course of sin, carelessly and securely, as travellers do in a road where they apprehend no danger. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 22:4

By humility; or, because of humility; or, as many others render it, the reward of humility; that reward which God hath graciously promised and will give to humility; which is a grace of great price in God’s eyes. See Isaiah 57:15; James 4:6. The fear of the Lord; by which he distinguisheth true and Christian humility from counterfeit and moral humility, because that ariseth from a deep sense of God’s greatness, and purity, and perfection, compared with our meanness, and filthiness and manifold... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 22:5

Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward; the wicked by their evil courses expose themselves to many dangers and occasions both of sin and mischief. He that doth keep his soul, that taketh heed to himself, and to his actions, and to the saving of his life and soul, shall be far from them; either, 1. Will avoid the society of such froward persons. Or, 2. Shall by that circumspection preserve himself from those thorns, &c., with which the pronoun them agrees in number. read more
