Proverbs 14:11

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. THE HOUSE OF THE WICKED SHALL BE OVERTHROWN: BUT THE TABERNACLE OF THE UPRIGHT SHALL FLOURISH. The abode of the wicked, though a "house," and though large, apparently flourishing, and in their own opinion destined to "continue forever" (), "shall be overthrown:" whereas "the tabernacle of the upright," though apparently small, weak, and humble, "shall flourish." Let us not be misled or perplexed by the external prosperity of the godless, (Psalms 37:1.)...

EXPOSITION PROVERBS 14:1 EVERY WISE WOMAN BUILDETH HER HOUSE. Wise women order well their household matters and their families; they have an important influence, and exercise it beneficially. Γυναικὸς ἐσθλῆς ἐστὶ σώζειν οἰκίαν_._ "A good wife is the saving of a house." The versions render as above. A different pointing of the word translated "wise" (_chakhmoth_)_ _will give "wisdom" (_chokhmoth_)_, _which it seems best to read here, as the parallel to the abstract term "folly" in the second member. So we have, "Wisdom hath builded her house" (Proverbs 9:1; comp. Proverbs 1:20). Thus: "The wi

THE HOUSE OF THE WICKED SHALL BE OVERTHROWN,.... Houses built to perpetuate their names and eternize their memory; and which, though built high and stately, strong and firm, yet by one accident or another shall come to ruin, when they imagined they would continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations, Psalms 49:11; or their families shall become extinct, none to be their heirs and inherit their estates, and transmit their name to posterity; or the substance of their house, their riches and wealth, especially that gotten dishonestly, shall waste away: and in a spiritual sense the house or hope of such, as to eternal salvation, being built on the sand, or something of their own, their external duties, or an outward profession of religion, shall not stand; though they lean upon it and would hold it fast, but it shall fall, and great shall be the fall of it; and particularly...

CHAPTER 14 THE WISE AND THE FOOLISH: THE RICH AND THE POOR The contrast now concerns the wise and the foolish, the rich and the poor. Let us see some of these contrasts. “In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride, but the lips of the wise shall preserve them” Proverbs 14:3. The foolish shoots forth his foolishness like a branch. Separation from the foolish man is commanded in the seventh verse. The wise cannot have fellowship with the foolish, as the believer is not to be yoked to the unbeliever. Fools make a mock at sin Proverbs 14:9). The word “sin” in the original means “trespass offering.” That is exactly what the foolish man does, including the religious fool; he denies both sin and the blessed provision God has made to deliver from the guilt and power of sin. But among the righteous, says

PROVERBS 14. In this, as in each of the preceding Chapter s in this section, aphorisms on the moral government of the world come first in number. There are rather more in this chapter of a political and social character, while a group that might be called psychological appears for the first time (_e.g._ Proverbs 14:10; Proverbs 14:13, and in part Proverbs 14:30). The contrast between wisdom and folly, simplicity and prudence, also yields a fairly numerous group. PROVERBS 14:1. MT cannot be translated. Proverbs 14:1 a is p

CHAPTER 14 TEXT Proverbs 14:1-12 1. Every wise woman buildeth her house; But the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands. 2. He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah; But he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him. 3. In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his pride; But the lips of the wise shall preserve them. 4. Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; But much increase is by the strength of the ox. 5. A faithful witness will not lie; But a false witness uttereth lies. 6. A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not; But knowledge is easy unto him that hath understanding. 7. Go into the presence of a foolish man, And thou shalt not perceive in him the lips of knowledge. 8. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way;
