Proverbs Commentary

Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
