Proverbs 31:7-89 KJV

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 31:30-31

THE BEAUTY THAT NEVER FADES‘Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.’ Proverbs 31:30-Obadiah : I. Interpretation.—‘Grace’ and ‘beauty’ will not win lasting praise; therefore they will disappoint. But a God-fearing woman, ‘she shall be praised’; her character in God’s eyes and man’s shall be her lasting grace, her unfading beauty. She is worthy of the... read more

Proverbs 31:1-1 Samuel : . Second Division. Sayings of Lemuel.— A manual of directions for kings. Proverbs 31:1. The title is uncertain. RV is not grammatically correct. Read mg.— Massa ( mg.) , rendered “ oracle” in Proverbs 31:30, and here by RV, is the regular word for the oracles of the earlier prophets, but is strange in this connexion. There is a Mas’ a mentioned in the inscriptions of Tiglath-pileser IV along with Teima in N. Arabia. This was one of the traditional seats of wisdom,... read more

Third Division. The Virtuous Woman. Proverbs 31:10-Obadiah : . This, the last division of the appendix, is in form an acrostic poem, each verse commencing with a letter of the Heb. alphabet in order. There are several more or less perfect specimens of such literary exercises in the OT— e.g. Psalms 111 f., Lamentations 1-4, and especially Psalms 119. Though some of the acrostics may, as their imperfect state suggests, have been early— e.g. Nahum 1:2-1 Samuel :— yet in general they belong to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 31:8

Open thy mouth, speak freely and impartially, as becomes a king and judge to do, for the dumb; for such as cannot speak in their own cause, either through ignorance and infirmity, or because of the dread of their more potent adversaries, or of the majesty of the king sitting in judgment. Such as are appointed to destruction; who without such succour from the judge are like to be utterly ruined, whom therefore both justice and charity oblige thee to preserve. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 31:10

A virtuous woman, whom he may take to wife. Such a person is hardly to be found. Compare Ecclesiastes 7:28. And here he lays down several characters or qualifications of an excellent wife, which are here delivered in alphabetical order, each verse beginning with a several and the succeeding letter of the Hebrew alphabet; which method is used in some, and but in a few places of Scripture, to oblige us to the more diligent consideration and careful remembrance of them, as things of more than... read more

Doth safely trust in her, for the prudent and faithful management of all his domestic affairs, which are committed to her care. So that he shall have no need of spoil; the sense is either, 1. He shall want no necessary provisions for his family, which are sometimes called spoil, or prey, as below, Proverbs 31:15; Psalms 111:5; Luke 11:22. Or, 2. He shall not need to use indirect and unlawful courses to get wealth, by cheating or oppressing his subjects or others, as princes have oft done to... read more

She seeketh wool and flax, that she may find employment for her servants, and not suffer them to spend all their time unprofitably in ease and idleness. Worketh willingly with her hands; she encourageth them to work by her example; which was a common practice among princesses in those first and purest ages of the world. Not that it is the duty of kings and queens to use manual or mechanical operations, but that it is the duty of all persons, the greatest not excepted, to improve all their... read more
