Proverbs 1:1-19 BSB

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:1

Proverbs 1:1 The Book of the Proverbs of Solomon is a collection, under the guidance of inspiration, of the short sayings of wise and pious men which up to that time had been more or less current, with many of course of his own intermixed. When we have them before us, we seem to have an insight into the minds of the very wisest of men, we almost commune with them, and know the point of view in which they regarded human life and all its affairs. I. We see the estimate they formed of human... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:1-4

Proverbs 1:1-4 It might seem at first as if no precepts of this kind, drawn from the experience of a social state most unlike our own, could be of much service to us. But much that is true of man at any time is true at all times. The counsels of the teacher look forwards rather than backwards. With but little change of outward circumstance, they are true even now. Their inner, substantial truth can never become obsolete. I. (1) The first great danger against which the young man is warned on his... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:6

Proverbs 1:6 A great deal of the world's wisdom is contained in proverbs. But it must be allowed that some of the world's proverbs are faulty and imperfect, and therefore unsafe rules for a Christian to follow. The proverbs of Solomon are all good and holy in their tendency. How could they be otherwise, proceeding as they do from the good and Holy Spirit of God? I. The book commences with the "fear of the Lord" as the root of the whole matter. Everything else without this is of no avail. If we... 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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 1:1-33

Proverbs 1:1 . Proverbs, apothegms, parables, sentences, similitudes. The proverbs of a nation are the compressions of wisdom into short maxims, which like the coins of a country worn bare by use, pass from hand to hand, without scruple or fear. The Hebrew word משׁלים mishelim, from משׁל mashal, to rule or govern, signifies a collection of wise sayings for the government of life and conduct. Proverbs 1:2 . To know wisdom.
