The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Proverbs 22:11-29

The Pure In Heart, Etc. Pro 22:11-29 "He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of [or, and hath grace in] his lips the king shall be his friend" [Lit., "He that loveth pureness of heart, his lips are gracious, the king is his friend"] ( Pro 22:11 ). This would seem to be the lower level of the holy word spoken upon the mount "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 22:16-29

He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want. Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, That I might make thee know the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 22:1-29

Verse Proverbs 22:2. The question that naturally arises on reading this is, Where do they meet together? This proverb is often used as having reference to the sanctuary or house of prayer; but a very superficial examination of the actual condition of affairs will show that this use of the proverb is hardly warranted. The answer to the question is that in the sight of God, and in His dealing with them, they meet together. If one is looking for locality, let him look to the day of final... read more
