Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 15:19
The way of the slothful man, the way in which he doth or ought to walk, any good work which he pretends or desires to undertake, is as an hedge of thorns; as a way hedged up with thorns, as it is expressed, Hosea 2:6, troublesome and perplexed, and full, of such difficulties as he despaireth, and therefore never striveth, to overcome. The way of the righteous, who is always diligent in his calling, which is one branch of righteousness, and therefore is fitly opposed to the slothful, who is... read more

Maketh a glad father, by giving him that honour and obedience which he oweth to him. Despiseth his mother; whereby he maketh her sad. See Poole "Proverbs 10:1", where we have the same proverb. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 15:21
Is joy; he doth not only work wickedness, but taketh pleasure in it. Walketh uprightly, Heb. directeth or maketh straight his going, i.e. ordereth all his actions by the rule of God’s word, and delighteth in so doing, which is understood from the opposite clause. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 15:22
Without counsel, when men do not seek or will not receive advice from others in weighty affairs, purposes are disappointed; their designs are ill managed, and succeed accordingly. In the multitude of counsellors, i.e. of wise and good counsellors, for such only deserve that name, they are established, i.e. accomplished and brought to a good issue. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 15:23
By the answer, i.e. by a wise or good and seasonable answer or advice, as is manifest, both from the opposite clause, and from the nature of the thing, because it is manifest and undeniable, that a foolish answer can be no credit nor comfort to the answerer. Thus above, Proverbs 15:10, the way is put for God’s way; and such synecdoches are frequent in Scripture. A word spoken in due season, counsel or comfort given to another in fit time and manner, how good is it! it is highly acceptable and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 15:24
The way of life is above to the wise; the way or course which a wise man taketh to preserve and obtain life, is to place his heart, and treasure, and conversation in things above, and to manage all his affairs in this world with due respect and subserviency to the happiness of a better life. From hell beneath; or, from the lowermost hell; not from the grave, as this word is elsewhere used, for no wisdom can prevent that; but from hell properly so called, as this word is elsewhere used, as hath... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 15:25
Of the proud; of the most mighty oppressors, who conceit themselves to be unmovably fixed. The border; either, 1. The estate, the border being oft used for the land within the borders, as Psalms 105:31,Psalms 105:33, and elsewhere. Or, 2. The border by which lands were then bounded and distinguished, which those proud persons endeavoured to remove contrary to God’s law, Deuteronomy 19:14; Deuteronomy 27:17. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 15:16
The fear of the Lord, which gives a man tranquillity and comfort in what he hath. Trouble; tumultuous lusts and passions, vexatious cares and fears, horrors of conscience, and expectation of God’s curse and judgment, which riches gotten without God’s fear do commonly produce. read more
