Proverbs Commentary

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

Open rebuke is better than secret love.
