Proverbs 10:7 NLT

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 10:7

"The memory of the righteous is blessed; But the name of the wicked shall rot."This contrasts the beautiful and precious memory of a godly life with the shame and rejection that linger upon the names of the wicked. As Deane asked, "Whoever thinks of naming a child Judas or Nero"?[10] read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 10:7

Proverbs 10:7. The memory of the just is blessed— Eusebius observes, that Plato has transferred this observation into his seventh book of laws; concerning which Lord Bacon makes the following remarks in the place quoted; "That the name of good men, after envy is extinguished, which cropped the blossom of their fame while they were alive, presently shoots up and flourisheth, and their praises generally increase in strength and vigour; but for wicked men, though their fame, through the partial... read more

II. COLLECTION 2: SOLOMON’S COUPLETS EXPRESSING Wisdom 10:1-22:16Chapters 1-9, as we have seen, contain discourses that someone, probably Solomon, wrote urging his son to choose the way of wisdom for his life. However, Kidner believed that if Solomon had written the first nine chapters, Proverbs 10:1 would read, "These also are proverbs of Solomon." [Note: Kidner, p. 22.] At Proverbs 10:1, we begin the part of the book that sets forth what "the wise way" is in a variety of life... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 10:1-16

Here we reach the first collection of what were supposed to be Solomon’s proverbs. Most of them consist of two lines parallel to each other. The parallelism is one of contrast, or agreement, or explanation, or of different persons and objects. It is impossible to trace any principle underlying the order in which the proverbs stand. Several of them are more or less exactly repeated in Proverbs 25-29. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 10:1-32

The main subject, not treated continuously, but recurred to again and again, is the blessing which attends goodness and diligence, the penalty which follows sin and sloth.2. Treasures of wickedness] acquired by wrong-doing (Amos 3:10). In many synagogues this v. is inscribed over the alms-box. To the later Jews ’righteousness’ meant almsgiving (Daniel 4:27; Tobit 4:1; Tobit 12:9; Matthew 6:1). 4. To deal with a slack hand is to be lacking in energy. 5. ’Make hay while the sun shines.’7. ’Only... read more

Proverbs 10:22 The ancients believed that the pyramids were so constructed that they cast no shadow; but few things in this world are wholly free from shadows. Wellnigh all circumstances and events, however propitious some may be, entail disadvantages. Absolute perfection is rare in any direction. Yet it is now our privilege to offer unqualified advantage, a gift without a backdraw, a blessing that is an unalloyed joy. In its most definite sense the blessing of the Lord is the fullness of the... read more

CHAPTER 11WEALTH"Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death." Proverbs 10:2"O’er weening statesmen have full long relied On fleets and armies and external wealth; But from within proceeds a Nation’s health."-WordsworthNO moral system is complete which does not treat with clearness and force the subject of wealth.
