Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Proverbs 14:1-35

(δ) With reference to the relation between the wise and the foolish, the rich and the poor, masters and servantsChap. 141 Woman’s wisdom buildeth her house,but folly teareth it down with its own hands.2 He that walketh uprightly feareth Jehovah,but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his pride,but the lips of the wise preserve them.4 Where there are no oxen the crib is clean,but much increase is by the strength of the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Proverbs 14:9

Proverbs SIN THE MOCKER Pro_14:9 . The wisdom of this Book of Proverbs is not simply intellectual, but it has its roots in reverence and obedience to God, and for its accompaniment, righteousness. The wise man is the good man, and the good man is the godly man. And as is wisdom, so its opposite, folly, is not only intellectual feebleness-the bad man is a fool, and the godless is a bad man. The greatest amount of brain-power cultivated to the highest degree does not make a man wise, and... read more

Proverbs HOLLOW LAUGHTER, SOLID JOY Pro_14:13 . - Joh_15:11 . A poet, who used to be more fashionable than he is now, pronounces ‘happiness’ to be our being’s end and aim. That is not true, except under great limitations and with many explanations. It may be regarded as God’s end, but it is ruinous to make it man’s aim. It is by no means the highest conception of the Gospel to say that it makes men happy, however true it may be. The highest is that it makes them good. I put these two texts... read more

Proverbs SATISFIED FROM SELF Pro_14:14 . At first sight this saying strikes one as somewhat unlike the ordinary Scripture tone, and savouring rather of a Stoical self-complacency; but we recall parallel sayings, such as Christ’s words, ‘The water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water’; and the Apostle’ s, ‘Then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone.’ We further note that the text has an antithetic parallel in the preceding clause, where the picture is drawn of ‘a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 14:1-35

Verse Proverbs 14:7. The sense of this proverb is entirely altered in the Revision. The Authorized reading would make it mean that if a man is perceived to be devoid of knowledge he should be abandoned. The Revised urges attention to the foolish man in order that it may be known that he lacks knowledge. Verse Proverbs 14:9. This proverb is decidedly ambiguous. It may mean that foolish men despise g d t in the sense of holding in contempt the guilty, whereas upright men have grace or favor or... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 14:12

THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM‘There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.’ Proverbs 14:12 I. There are ways that lead to death.—Each of us has come into contact with beings whom excesses have led to a premature end; others still occupy a place in the world, but their ruined health, their weakened faculties, show that, to use the words of St. Paul, ‘they are dead while living.’ The death in question here is the condition of a creature who has... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 14:1

Walking With The Wise Will Result In Prosperity And A Well-knit And Integrated Family, Whilst Being A Fool Is A Prelude To Disaster (Proverbs 13:20 to Proverbs 14:1 ). We have in this subsection a call to follow wisdom and be wise (Proverbs 13:20), righteous Proverbs 13:21; Proverbs 13:25) and good (Proverbs 13:22). He who does so will be recompensed with good (Proverbs 13:21); will find himself in a position to leave his descendants an inheritance (Proverbs 13:22); will properly discipline... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 14:1-35

A Collection Of Solomon’s Proverbs (Proverbs 10:1 to Proverbs 29:27 ). Solomon’s presentation of The Book of Proverbs has followed the pattern of much Wisdom literature. This commenced with the initial heading detailing the details of the author and his purpose in writing (Proverbs 1:1-7), continued with a Prologue which laid the foundation for what was to follow (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18), and was then followed by the body of the work introduced by one or more subheadings. In Solomon’s... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 14:2-6

The One Who Fears YHWH Walks In Uprightness, Is Preserved By What He Says, Enjoys Prosperity, Is A True Witness And Easily Comes To Understanding (Proverbs 14:2-6 ). The one who fears YHWH walks in uprightness (Proverbs 14:2); speaks in such a way that his lips and words preserve him (Proverbs 14:3); takes full advantage of the strength of the ox which is God’s gift to man in order to enjoy abundant harvest (Proverbs 14:4); speaks truthfully and is a reliable witness (Proverbs 14:5); and... read more
