Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 11:1-31

Proverbs 11. The orthodox view of strictly retributive justice found in Proverbs 10:24 f., Proverbs 11:27-Amos : is represented by a further group ( Proverbs 11:2-Ruth :, Proverbs 11:18-Ecclesiastes :, and Proverbs 11:31). Proverbs concerning speech are also frequent ( Proverbs 11:9; Proverbs 11:12 f.). There are, moreover, several new points— e.g. the value of wisdom to the community ( Proverbs 11:14); the popularity of the prosperity of the righteous ( Proverbs 11:10), possibly referring to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 11:30

The fruit of the righteous, i.e. which he produceth; his discourses and his whole conversation. Is a tree of life; is like the fruit of the tree of life; is a great preserver of his life, and a procurer of eternal life, not only to himself, but to others also. He that winneth souls, Heb. that catcheth souls, as a fowler doth birds; that maketh it his design and business, and useth all his skill and diligence, to gain souls to God, and to pluck them out of the snare of the devil. Is wise;... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 11:30

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 11:30. Or, “the wise man winneth” or “taketh” souls. MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 11:30THE WINNER OF SOULSI. Souls can be won to God and goodness. 1. There is in every man a natural light to which to appeal. If a sick man has something in his constitution upon which the physician can fix as a basis of operation, there is hope of recovery. But where the constitution is utterly and entirely bad, the very effort of the physician is a proof of his lack of wisdom. Man is... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 11:30

Proverbs 11:30 I. The true Christian is not satisfied to watch and work for his own salvation, but he remembers the souls of others also. Every soul won for Christ is a token of His favour. The success of our efforts proves that we have used the right means in the right way, so that the planting and the watering of the human agency has been crowned by the Divine Spirit with an abundant increase. II. The text contains a significant hint as to the mode of carrying on this blessed work. "He that ... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Proverbs 11:30

DISCOURSE: 778THE WISDOM OF WINNING SOULSProverbs 11:30. He that winneth souls, is wise.REAL piety is operative, and influential on the whole life; and discovers itself very principally in labours of love to those around us. “The fruit of the righteous is” very fitly compared to “a tree of life,” which administers to the welfare of all who come under its benignant shade. True, indeed, such persons are often regarded only as weak enthusiasts; and are despised in proportion as they exert... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 11:1-31

Shall we turn now in Proverbs to the eleventh chapter.Now we have come in the Proverbs to individual little sayings of wisdom. Each one is separate and complete in itself and unrelated to the next. So that there is very little to comment on, because each of them become a complete little thought and finish within the verse itself. So it is extremely difficult as far as exposition is concerned, because it says it all. And the wisdom is to be gleaned just from really the brevity of the statement... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 11:1-31

Proverbs 11:1 . A false balance is an abomination to the Lord. A dishonest tradesman here receives a hard stroke. Though his weight be but little short of the standard; yet by using it a thousand times the fraud becomes great, and greater still as it falls chiefly on the poor. Deuteronomy 25:13. The apologies which offenders make on the ground of accident or negligence, are often but an addition to the crime. The injured perhaps might place some sort of confidence in the excuse, were he in... read more

Proverbs 11:30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. The fruit of the righteousBy this is meant his prayers, his charities, his good example, the virtues which compose his character and adorn his life, and all the efforts and influences by which he shows forth his wisdom in winning souls. To win souls in the best sense is to bring them to the saving knowledge of Jesus and subjugate them to His gracious dominion. An illustrious ancient philosopher said, “There is nothing great on earth... read more
