Proverbs Commentary

There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.

As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
