HAPPINESS AND BLESSING OF THOSE WHO TRUST IN GOD"My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah;Neither be weary of his reproof:For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth,Even as the father the son in whom he delighteth.Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,And the man that getteth understanding.For the gaining of it is better than silver,And the profit thereof than fine gold.She is more precious than rubies:And none of the things that thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.Length of days is in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 3:11-12

The importance of continuing to seek Wisdom 3:11-12Even though the price one has to pay for wisdom (i.e., life within the will of God) includes submitting to God’s discipline (Proverbs 3:11-12), it is worth it (Proverbs 3:13-20). "Loathe" (Proverbs 3:11 b) means to shrink back from (cf. Hebrews 12:5-6). Rejecting with the will and recoiling emotionally are opposite actions from trusting (Proverbs 3:5). God’s discipline may not produce all that God desires if we respond to it improperly. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Proverbs 3:11

(11) Despise not the chastening of the Lord . . .—Comp. Job 5:17. A wonderful advance beyond the teaching of the Pentateuch: e.g., Deuteronomy 28:0, in which the Jews had to be treated as children, and punishment or reward follow as the immediate consequence of bad or good behaviour. Under such a discipline misfortune could only be regarded as a punishment, a sign of God’s displeasure; but now a further manifestation of His dealings with man is made. When He sends trouble upon His children, He... read more
