Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 14:9

Proverbs 14:9 I. The various ways in which men make a mock at sin may be summed up under two heads: by their words, and by their actions. We show our scorn and contempt of a thing in our words, when we speak carelessly of it, or laugh at it, or turn it into ridicule. We show it in our actions, when we live in such a manner as proves that we have no value or regard for it. Even of the first kind of mockery, the mockery of words, few are wholly innocent; of the last kind of mockery, the mockery... read more

DISCOURSE: 782THE FOLLY OF MAKING A MOCK AT SINProverbs 14:9. Fools make a mock at sin.MAN in his first creation was formed after the Divine image; and there was not in his soul the least inclination to evil of any kind. But since his fall, he is become in love with sin: sin is the very element in which he lives: and so unconscious is he of its malignity, that he makes a mock at it. Doubtless all do not carry their impiety to the same extent. Some are openly profane, and given up to all manner... read more

She takes pain. She takes effort to really build her house. A wise woman. It, to me, is a very tragic thing that today there is so much pressure upon women to be something other than good wives and keepers of the home.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 14:1-35

Proverbs 14:1 . Every wise woman buildeth her house, as Proverbs 9:1, by training up her children to industry, piety and virtue. She is their first governess, and daily instils the elements of knowledge by maternal sweetness. She improves her means, whether of agriculture or trade, so that her house abounds with affluence, as stated in chap. 31. Whereas the foolish woman pulls it down by idleness, pride and dissipation.

The Biblical Illustrator - Proverbs 14:9

Proverbs 14:9Fools make a mock at sin.Thinking lightly of sinBreathing an atmosphere tainted with moral evil, seeing and hearing sin in our daily walks, we are in no small danger of overlooking its malignity. The word “sin” is to many obscure. It is seldom used in common life. It belongs to theology and the pulpit. According to Scripture there is nothing so evil, so deformed, so ruinous, as sin. To do wrong is more pernicious than to incur all the calamities which nature or the evil the heart,... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 14:9

9. Fools make a mock at sin As the verb in the original is singular, not agreeing with אולים , ( evilim,) fools, as its subject, it is somewhat probable that the sentence should be transposed, making אשׁם , ( asham,) guilt, or sin offering, the subject. Stuart renders, “sin offering mocks fools;” (wicked men;) mocks their hopes, because not accepted. The word asham is frequently used for sin offering, or trespass offering. Comp. 1Sa 6:3 ; 2 Kings 12:17; Isaiah 55:10; Ezekiel... read more
