Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 22:17-21

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 22:21. Them that send unto thee, rather “them that send thee.” “The senders here,” says Zöckler, “are naturally the parents, who have sent their son to the teacher of wisdom, that he may bring back thence to them real culture of spirit and heart.” MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH. Proverbs 22:17-21TRUST FROM KNOWLEDGE, AND BLESSEDNESS FROM TRUSTI. Knowledge of God must go before faith in God. There must be a knowledge of the existence, character, and power of any person... read more

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 22:22-23GOD THE SPOILER OF THE SPOILERI. Robbery is of three kinds. 1. There is the open and unlegalised thief. There are men who do not pretend to respect the rights of others and who openly live in violation of Divine and human laws. They differ somewhat in their methods and in the description of their plunder—some seeking to gain an entrance into the mansion and lay hands on the jewels of the wealthy, and others being content with what they can find in the cottage... read more

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 22:24-25AN INFECTIOUS AND DANGEROUS DISEASEI. Friendship influences habit and thus moulds character. The reason given here for avoiding the companionship of an angry man is, “lest thou learn his ways.” This subject has been treated at length in chap. Proverbs 13:20, page 326. There is great need when pestilence is abroad to avoid needless contact with infected persons and things. In every man there is more or less liability to disease which sometimes only needs a... read more

MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 22:26-27SURETYSHIP AND ITS DANGERSI. A command to avoid a perilous habit. We cannot, in the light of the spirit of Bible teaching—especially that of the New Testament—regard this proverb as forbidding all suretyship. It cannot mean that one honest man when he has ample means at his command is never to become security for another man of honesty. We know that there are cases in which it is the greatest kindness that one friend can do another, and that it is often the... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Proverbs 22:29. Diligent, rather “expert,” apt.”MAIN HOMILETICS OF Proverbs 22:29THE DESTINY OF THE DILIGENTI. The diligent man meets with Divine approval. The repeated commendations of diligence and condemnations of slothfulness which we meet with in this book show the estimate which God sets upon rightly-directed industry. 1. The diligent man is in harmony with God. The Divine Father is ever working for the good of His creatures, and no being who ever trod this earth laboured... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 22:28

Proverbs 22:28 It cannot but be perplexing in the extreme, to devout and moderately thoughtful minds, to find how constantly we catch new theories of what we had once felt to be fixed and immutable truth. Men extinguish the fair lights which the Divine hand has kindled, and set up lurid flames and beacons of their own. But as surely as you follow the one, so surely shall you find yourself among the breakers, the breakers of controversy, doubt, and haply of despair; while, following the other,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 22:29

Proverbs 22:29 (with Romans 12:8 ; 1 Samuel 2:30 ) I. The Bible always recognises a basis of character which is found in the natural endowments of a man. The Bible does not glorify men because of beauty and strength, because of great mental parts, powers of reason or imagination; but it never hesitates to speak of these as parts of the perfectness of life, as conditions and qualities which by proper use and right direction may be turned to the good of men and the glory of God. II. According... read more

Chapter 22A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold ( Proverbs 22:1 ).The good name, so important, so valuable. Good reputation, so important.
