Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 1:10
Sinners; eminently so called, as Genesis 13:13; Psalms 1:1; Psalms 26:9; such as sell themselves to work all manner of wickedness; particularly thieves, and robbers, and murderers, as appears from the next verses, as also oppressors and cheaters, by comparing this with Proverbs 1:19. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 1:7-9
CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 1:7. Fools, derived from a word meaning to be gross and dull of understanding. Gesenius understands it to signify “one who turns away,” the “perverse.” MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Proverbs 1:7-9THE ROOT OF TRUE KNOWLEDGE AND THE MEANS OF ITS ATTAINMENTWhen the husbandman comes to examine a fruit-tree, he disregards everything in the way of leaf and branch; if he does not also find evidence of fruit in the appointed season, he considers that the end of planting is... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 1:10-19
CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 1:10. Entice thee, “lay thee open.” Miller here reads “if sinners would make a door of thy simplicity, afford thou no entrance.” Proverbs 1:17. Some interpret this verse as referring to the godly who escape the snares laid for them, others to the wicked, who, not so wise as the bird, plunge themselves into ruin by plotting against the good. Then the blood and lives of Proverbs 1:18 refer to the blood and life of the sinner. MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Proverbs... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:7
Proverbs 1:7 I understand by the fear of the Lord an abiding and reverent sense of the presence of God and of accountableness to Him. And in order for this to exist, God must not be the creature of each man's imagination, a fiction adapted to each man's prejudices and caprice, but that real, personal Being which we have every reason to believe God to have revealed Himself to be, such in character, as to love, holiness, and justice, as He has declared Himself in His word. I. The fear of God is... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:7-9
Proverbs 1:7-9 Solomon grounds the fear of God, the basis of the whole religious life, upon the duty of obedience to parents. I. It is not mere children to whom he is speaking; he is addressing young persons who have come to that period of life at which they can go wrong if they will, when the actual restraint of parents is past. II. It is the mark of a young person being very much fallen from the safe narrow path, when he allows himself to be tempted, whether in company or in his own heart, to... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:10
Proverbs 1:10 There are two chief sources of temptation which Solomon indicates in these chapters, and which, when we have stripped off the figure or the accidental circumstances of age and time, are not less applicable to our days than to his. I. The first is sensuality, figured and summed up in that repeated picture of the "strange woman which flattereth with her tongue, which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God." II. The other is that of evil... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:1-33
Shall we turn in our Bibles tonight to Proverbs, chapter 1. The first six verses are sort of a preface to the book, as authors many times write a preface to their work.The Proverbs of Solomon the son of David, the king of Israel ( Proverbs 1:1 );When Solomon first came into the throne of his father David, the kingdom of Israel had come really to the zenith of its glory, of power. It was at that point one of the strongest kingdoms in the world. Blessed of God mightily. And when Solomon became... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 1:8
My son; he speaks to his scholars with paternal authority and affection, to make them more attentive and obedient. Teachers among the Hebrews and others were commonly called fathers, and their scholars their sons. The instruction of thy father; his good and wholesome counsels, but not such as are contrary to God’s law, Proverbs 19:27. The law of thy mother; those pious instructions which thy mother instilled into thee in thy tender years. See Proverbs 31:1; 2 Timothy 1:5; 2 Timothy 3:14,2... read more
