Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 30:24
5"There are four things which are little upon the earth,But they are exceeding wise:The ants are a people not strong,Yet they provide their food in the summer;The conies are but a feeble folk,Yet make they their houses in the rocks;The locusts have no king,Yet go they forth all of them by bands;The lizard taketh hold with her hands,Yet is she in king's palaces."Other translations give us "badgers"[21] for `conies' in Proverbs 30:26, or "rock-rabbits,"[22] "mormats,"[23] or "the rabbit."[24] Why... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 30:21-23
Proverbs 30:21-23. For three things the earth is disquieted— We have here an answer to another enigmatical question, What things are most intolerable? Which he tells us are, 1. A slave who bears rule; 2. A fool over-fed; 3. A vicious wife in a family; 4. A servant-maid become mistress of the house. This is very clear, and but too well confirmed by experience.

24-31. These verses provide two classes of apt illustrations of various aspects of the moral world, which the reader is left to apply. By the first ( :-), diligence and providence are commended; the success of these insignificant animals being due to their instinctive sagacity and activity, rather than strength. The other class (Proverbs 30:30; Proverbs 30:31) provides similes for whatever is majestic or comely, uniting efficiency with gracefulness. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 30:1-33
VI. COLLECTION 6: THE WISDOM OF AGUR CH. 30Chapters 30 and 31 form a distinct section in Proverbs, because neither Solomon (Proverbs 1:1 to Proverbs 22:16; chs. 25-29), nor the unnamed sages (Proverbs 22:17 to Proverbs 24:34), wrote them. Two other wise men, whose names the text records, did. Some expositors speculate that because these men’s discourses occur at the end of the book, the writers probably lived later than the men of Hezekiah. [Note: E.g., Toy, p. 517.] Nevertheless who Agur and... read more

These are four more pictures of arrogant folly. They picture upside-down social situations. One writer saw Adolph Hitler as an example of the kind of servant who became a king that the writer envisioned (Proverbs 30:22 a). [Note: Greenstone, p. 324.] read more
