Proverbs 22:19

That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. THAT THY TRUST MAY BE IN THE LORD (THE TRUE END OF KNOWLEDGE, , AND OF UTTERANCE, ), I HAVE MADE KNOWN TO THEE THIS DAY, EVEN TO THEE. The repetition is for emphasis. To thee, to thy very self, whosoever thou art that readest or hearest (). If heretofore thou hast not known or attended to my words, I set them before thee NOW. "This day" extends to each generation in succession that reeds this book (; ;...

Verse Proverbs 22:19. _THAT THY TRUST MAY BE IN THE LORD, I HAVE MADE KNOWN,_ _c._] III. The END for which the wise man gives these instructions: - 1. "That thy trust may be in the Lord." That thou mayest acknowledge HIM as the _Fountain_ of all good and refer every thing to _him_. 2. That this end may be _accomplished_, the instructions are _specific_ and _particular_: "I have made known to thee, even to thee." 3. And this has not only been done in times past, "I have made known:" but even in the _present_, "I have made known this day!" IV. An _appeal_ is made to the person himself relative to the _matter_ and _importance_ of the teaching. 1. "Have I not written to thee excellent things;" שלשים _shalishim_, literally threef

EXPOSITION PROVERBS 22:1 A GOOD NAME IS RATHER TO BE CHOSEN THAN GREAT RICHES. It will be observed that "good" in the Authorized Version is in italics, showing that the epithet is not expressed in the Hebrew, which is simply שֵׁם (_shem_)_, _"name." But this word carried with it the notion of good repute, as in Ecclesiastes 7:1; for being well known implied honour and reputation, while being nameless (Job 30:8) signified not only obscurity, but ignominy and discredit. Hence the versions have ὄνομα καλόν_, nomen bonum, _and Ecclesiasticus 41:12, "Have regard to thy name (περὶ ὀνόματος)_, _for that shall continue with thee above a thousan

THAT THY TRUST MAY BE IN THE LORD,.... By means of the words of the wise, or doctrines of the Gospel, faith in Christ is first had; men are directed and encouraged hereby to believe in him; and by the same means faith is increased, confirmed, and established. This is the end of penning the Scriptures, and of the Gospel ministry, as follows: I HAVE MADE KNOWN TO THEE THIS DAY, EVEN TO THEE; the said words and doctrines in the ministry of the word, by the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of them; giving not only a notional, but a spiritual and experimental knowledge of them. The Lord has particular persons to whom he will make known these things in a saving way; it is "to thee, even to thee"; and to everyone whom God has chosen, and Christ has redeemed: and he has particular times and seasons for it, "this day"; which is a time of life and love; when darkness is removed, a...

CHAPTER 22 INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED Better than great riches, better than silver and gold is a name and loving favor. If a person has riches and a bad name and is not well thought of, he is less honorable than the poor man who has a name and good reputation. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon says: “A good name is better than precious ointment” Ecclesiastes 7:11). The third verse has a wise message: “The prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself, but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.” The Lord has revealed in His Word the evil which is in store for the sinner and the impenitent. He also has prepared a hiding place, an ark of safety, in His Son, our Lord. The prudent believeth the Word and flees to the refuge; the simple, the unbelieving, pass on and suffer for it when the evil comes. Humility and the fear of the Lord has a reward, while thorns and snares are in the way of the

FIRST DIVISION, PROVERBS 22:17 TO PROVERBS 24:22. Proverbs 22:17. This collection of sayings of the wise (Proverbs 22:17) is prefaced by a short _introduction exhorting_ the pupil, as is Proverbs 22:1, to study them. The author is apparently addressing a pupil or envoy, and states that he has written down these sayings that his pupil may trust in the Lord and may take back words of truth to them that sent him.

III. Second Collection of Proverbs Chap. Proverbs 22:17 to Proverbs 24:22 A short Preface or Introduction, Proverbs 22:17-21. The body of the Collection, Proverbs 22:22 to Proverbs 24:22. 17 21. This short paragraph is at once a conclusion and an introduction, a pause in the continuous teaching of the same Teacher, in which he sums up what had gone before, and opens the way for further instruction. In our present Hebrew text there is no break between the 16th and 17th verses of this chapter, but the
