Proverbs 14:35

The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame. THE KING'S FAVOUR (IS) TOWARD A WISE SERVANT: BUT HIS WRATH IS (AGAINST) HIM THAT CAUSETH SHAME - (.) 'He that causeth shame,' by his want of wisdom (including skill and diligence), 'is the object of his wrath.'...

Verse Proverbs 14:35. _THE KING'S FAVOUR_ IS _TOWARD A WISE SERVANT_] The king should have an intelligent man for his _minister_; a man of deep sense, sound judgment, and of a _feeling, merciful disposition_. He who has not the _former_ will plunge the nation into _difficulties_; and he who has not the _latter_ will embark her in _disastrous wars_. Most wars are occasioned by _bad ministers, men of blood_, who cannot be happy but in endeavouring to unchain the spirit of discord. Let every humane heart pray, _Lord, scatter thou the_ _people who delight in war! Amen - so be it. Selah!_ __...

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 KING'S FAVOUR [IS] TOWARD A WISE SERVANT,.... Who does his prince's business well, committed to him; manages all his affairs wisely and prudently; is diligent and careful to do everything for the king's honour, and the good of his subjects; such an one has a share in royal favour, a place in the affections of his master; and is sure to be promoted to honour by him, and exalted to higher places of trust and profit, as well as to be protected and defended by him: so Christ, the King of kings, shows favour to his wise and faithful servants, Luke 12:42; BUT HIS WRATH IS [AGAINST] HIM THAT CAUSETH SHAME; who neglects his business, or does it foolishly; in such a manner as his prince is ashamed of him, and which brings shame and disgrace to himself; all which provokes the anger of his master, who discharges him from his service, and this fixes a mark of infamy upon

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

TEXT Proverbs 14:25-35 25. A true witness delivereth souls; But he that uttereth lies causeth deceit. 26. In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence; And his children shall have a place of refuge. 27. The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death. 28. In the multitude of people is the king's glory; But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince. 29. He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. 30. A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh; But envy is the rottenness of the bones. 31. He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he that hath mercy on the needy honoreth him. 32. The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing;...
