Proverbs Book #19C (Commentary only)
Matthew Henry Concise Commentary - Chapter 19
Verse 1 A poor man who fears God, is more honourable and
happy, than a man without wisdom and grace, however rich or
advanced in rank. Verse 2 . What good can the soul do, if without
knowledge? And he sins who will not take time to ponder the path
of his feet.
Verse 3 . Men run into troubles by their own folly, and then fret at
the appointments of God. Verse 4 . Here we may see how strong
is men's love of money. Verse 5 . Those that tell lies in discourse,
are in a fair way to be guilty of bearing false-witness.
Verse 6 . We are without excuse if we do not love God with all our
hearts. His gifts to us are past number, and all the gifts of men to
us are fruits of his bounty.
Verse 7 . Christ was left by all his disciples; but the Father
was with him. It encourages our faith that he had so large
an experience of the sorrows of poverty. Verse 8 . Those
only love their souls aright that get true wisdom.
Verse 9 . Lying is a damning, destroying sin.
Verse 10 . A man that has not wisdom and grace, has no right
or title to true joy. It is very unseemly for one who is a servant
to sin, to oppress God's free-men.
Verse 11 . He attains the most true glory who endeavours most
steadily to overcome evil with good. Verse 12 . Christ is a King,
whose wrath against his enemies will be as the roaring of a lion,
and his favour to his people as the refreshing dew. Verse 13 .
It shows the vanity of the world, that we are liable to the greatest
griefs where we promise ourselves the greatest comfort.
Verse 14 . A discreet and virtuous wife is more valuable than
house and riches. Verse 15 . A sluggish, slothful disposition
makes men poor; it brings them to want. And this applies both
to the present life and that which is to come.
Verse 16 . If we keep God's word, God's word will keep us
from every thing really hurtful. We abuse the doctrine of free
grace, if we think that it does away the necessity and advantage
of obedience. Those that live at random must die. This truth is
clearly taught in words enough to alarm the stoutest sinner.
Verse 17 . God has chosen the poor of this world, to be rich in
faith, and heirs of his kingdom. Verse 18 . When parents keep
under foolish tenderness, they do their best to render children
a comfort to them, and happy in themselves.
Verse 19 . The spared and spoiled child is likely to become a
man of great wrath. Verse 20 . Those that would be wise in
their latter end, must be taught and ruled when young.
Verse 21 . What should we desire, but that all our purposes
may agree with God's holy will? Verse 22 . It is far better to
have a heart to do good, and want ability for it, than to have
ability for it, and want a heart to it.
Verse 23 . Those that live in the fear of God, shall get safety,
satisfaction, and true and complete happiness.
Verse 24 . Indolence, when indulged, so grows upon people,
that they have no heart to do the most needful things for
themselves. Verse 25 . A gentle rebuke goes farthest with a
man of understanding.
Verse 26 . The young man who wastes his father's substance,
or makes his aged mother destitute, is hateful, and will come
to disgrace. Verse 27 . It is the wisdom of young men to dread
hearing such talk as puts loose and evil principles into the mind.
Verse 28 . Those are the worst of sinners, who are glad of an
opportunity to sin. Verse 29 . The unbelief of man shall not
make God's threatenings of no effect. Christ himself, when
bearing sins not his own, was not spared.
Justice and judgment took hold of our blessed Surety; and
will God spare obstinate sinners?
