Proverbios 1:20-23 RVR1960

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 1:20-33

Solomon, having shown how dangerous it is to hearken to the temptations of Satan, here shows how dangerous it is not to hearken to the calls of God, which we shall for ever rue the neglect of. Observe, I. By whom God calls to us?by wisdom. It is wisdom that crieth without. The word is plural?wisdoms, for, as there is infinite wisdom in God, so there is the manifold wisdom of God, Eph. 3:10. God speaks to the children of men by all the kinds of wisdom, and, as in every will, so in every word,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:20

Wisdom crieth without ,.... Here the person instructing throughout this whole book is represented under the name of "Wisdom"; by which we are to understand not the attribute of divine wisdom displayed in the works of creation; nor the light of nature in man; nor the law of Moses given to the Israelites; nor the revelation of the divine will in general, as it is delivered out in the sacred Scriptures; nor the Gospel, and the ministry of it, in particular; but our Lord Jesus Christ; for the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:21

She crieth in the chief place of concourse ,.... Where a multitude of people meet together; the Targum is, "on the top of palaces;' but rather it is to be understood of the synagogues of the Jews, where Christ frequently preached; and which, from hence, they build in the highest part of the city F3 Maimon. Hilchot Tephillah, c. 11. s. 2. ; and best of all the temple, whither the tribes of Israel went up to worship in great bodies, and to which the Jews daily resorted; here Christ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:22

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity ?.... Simple foolish things, agreeably to their character, being weak simple men, men of weak capacities and shallow understandings; and such were the first persons that were called by Christ through the ministry of the word, even effectually; they were babes and sucklings in comparison of others, by whom they were despised as illiterate and ignorant of the law; see Matthew 11:25 ; though it may respect the Jews in general, who were... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 1:23

Turn ye at my reproof ,.... Or rather "to my reproof", for the words are not an exhortation to the conversion of the heart, or to him repentance; but to an attendance to the external ministry of the word preached, which reproves of sin, righteousness, and judgment; and does not design the turning of the heart to it, which is God's work, but the turning of the face and ears to hear it; and so the Targum, "turn your face to my reproof,' and not your backs, as they did, showing a dislike of... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 1:20

Wisdom crieth - Here wisdom is again personified, as it is frequently, throughout this book; where nothing is meant but the teachings given to man, either by Divine revelation or the voice of the Holy Spirit in the heart. And this voice of wisdom is opposed to the seducing language of the wicked mentioned above. This voice is everywhere heard, in public, in private, in the streets, and in the house. Common sense, universal experience, and the law of justice written on the heart, as well as... read more

Turn you at my reproof - לתוכחתי lethochachti , at my convincing mode of arguing; attend to my demonstrations. This is properly the meaning of the original word.

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 1:20

Wisdom crieth without. Wisdom . The Hebrew word ( khochmoth ) here used to designate Wisdom seems to be an abstract derivation from the ordinary khochmah. The form is peculiar to the Proverbs and Psalms, in the former occurring four times ( Proverbs 1:22 ; Proverbs 9:1 ; Proverbs 14:1 ; Proverbs 24:7 ), and in the latter twice only (viz. Psalms 49:4 ; Psalms 78:15 ). As in Proverbs 9:1 and Proverbs 24:7 , it is a pluralis excellentiae of the feminine gender, a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 1:20-23

The gospel call This cry of Wisdom is a sort of evangel of the Old Testament religion. It is an anticipation of the gracious invitation subsequently put forth by the Christian truth. That, too, is a cry of Wisdom; for is not Christ the "Wisdom of God" ( 1 Corinthians 1:24 ), and "made unto us Wisdom" ( 1 Corinthians 1:30 )? We of the latter times, therefore, may hear in the preaching of Solomon the call of the glorious gospel of the blessed God. I. THE CHARACTER OF THE ... read more
