v. 14. The mouth of strange women, for so the harlots were commonly designated in the midst of God's people, is a deep pit, on account of the alluring and seductive language which they use in pursuing their intended victims; he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein, in just punishment of his wickedness, the curse of Jehovah thereby going into effect. read more
v. 15. Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, the reference being not merely to silly pranks and senseless escapades, but to the sinfulness of a child's nature, which shows itself in evil words and acts; but the rod of correction, which the Lord has entrusted to parents, as His representatives, for the use of which they are responsible to Him, shall drive it far from him, judicious punishment properly administered will put the dread of evil in the heart of the child. read more
v. 16. He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, his oppression results in ill-gotten wealth for himself, and he that giveth to the rich shall surely come to want, such an act will result in nothing but loss to himself. In either case, selfishness is the ruling motive, and in either case the punishment of God will strike the transgressor. read more
η) Admonition to secure and keep a good nameProverbs 22:1-161 A (good) name is to be chosen rather than great riches;better than silver and gold is good will.2 The rich and the poor meet together;Jehovah is the maker of them all.8 The prudent seeth the evil and hideth himself,but the simple pass on and must suffer.4 The end of humility (and) of the fear of Godis riches, honor and life.5 Thorns, snares are in the way of the wayward;he that guardeth his soul let him keep... read more
“He That Loveth Pureness of Heart” Proverbs 22:1-16 Great riches are not always a great blessing. When they are held in trust for God, they afford the opportunity of giving a vast amount of happiness to the benefactor as well as to those benefited. But we recall other riches, which do not consist in what a man has, but in what he is. There are four levels of human experience-to have, to do, to know, and to be-and these in their order are like iron, silver, gold, precious stones. Some of... read more
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
Proverbs Of Solomon Part 2 (Proverbs 15:22 to Proverbs 22:16 ). At this point there is a sudden switch from proverbs which contrast one thing with another, which have been predominant since Proverbs 10:1, to proverbs where the second clause adds something to the first. Whilst we still find some contrasting proverbs, especially at the beginning, they are not so common. This may suggest a deliberate intention by Solomon to separate his proverbs into two parts. Furthermore such a change at this... read more
A Collection Of Solomon’s Proverbs (Proverbs 10:1 to Proverbs 29:27 ). Solomon’s presentation of The Book of Proverbs has followed the pattern of much Wisdom literature. This commenced with the initial heading detailing the details of the author and his purpose in writing (Proverbs 1:1-7), continued with a Prologue which laid the foundation for what was to follow (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18), and was then followed by the body of the work introduced by one or more subheadings. In Solomon’s... read more
Proverbs 22:6 . in the way he should go puts more into the Heb. than it contains. It is lit. “ train up a child in proportion to his way”— i.e. train him suitably. The moral implication is absent. The stress is on the effect of training. Proverbs 22:11 . RV hides disorder of MT. Read, probably, “ The king loves the pure in heart, grace of lips is his good pleasure.” Proverbs 22:12 a is difficult. RV will not pass. The lit. Heb. is “ the eyes of Yahweh guard knowledge.” The abstract “... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 22:13
v. 13. The slothful man saith, eagerly making use of every shadow of an excuse to abstain from work, senseless though it may be, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets, so he prefers not to take any chances, but continues to indulge his laziness. read more
