MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH—Proverbs 3:5-6EXHORTATION TO CONFIDENCE IN GODMan is so constituted that, in some respects, he must have objects outside of himself to lean upon.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 3:5-6

Proverbs 3:5-6 (with Proverbs 27:1 ) I. The precept, "Lean not unto thine own understanding" is one in which, with advancing years, we are well disposed to acquiesce.

Sudden reverses overtake the most... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 3:6

Proverbs 3:6 A characteristic of the Old Testament Scriptures, which results from the genius of the Hebrew language, is specially observable in the Book of Proverbs. Instead of the copious, versatile, precise, and in so many respects unrivalled, instrument which the Greek wields when expressing his thought, the Hebrew writer has at command a language possessing by comparison only a few and simple words. But of these, many are words of the widest range and applicability. They are words... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 3:1-35

Proverbs 3:2 . Length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. The premature death denounced against the profligate, and the victims of the harlot, shall be far from thy dwelling. The truth of this promise, of frequent occurrence in the sacred writings, is demonstrated by the longevity of many scripture characters; and eternal life, by way of apposition, is understood.
