Proverbs Commentary

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
