[and] a loving favour rather than silver and gold.
(a) Which comes by well doing.
22:2 The rich and poor b meet together: the LORD [is] the
maker of them all.
(b) Live together, and have need the one of the other.
22:3 A prudent [man] c foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself:
but the simple pass on, and are punished.
(c) That is, the punishment, which is prepared for the
wicked and flees to God for help.
22:6 Train up a child d in the way he should go: and when he
is old, he will not depart from it.
(d) Bring him up virtuously and he will continue so.
22:8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the e rod
of his anger shall fail.
(e) His authority by which he oppressed others, will be
taken from him.
22:9 He that hath a bountiful f eye shall be blessed; for he
giveth of his bread to the poor.
(f) He that is merciful and liberal.
22:11 He that loveth pureness of heart, [for] the grace of his
lips the g king [shall be] his friend.
(g) He shows that princes should use their familiarity,
whose conscience is good, and their talk wise and
godly.
22:12 The eyes of the LORD preserve h knowledge, and he
overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
(h) Favour them that love knowledge.
22:13 The slothful [man] saith, i [There is] a lion outside, I
shall be slain in the streets.
(i) He derides them that invent vain excuses, because they
would not do their duty.
22:14 The mouth of strange women [is] a deep pit: he that is
abhorred by the LORD k shall fall in it.
(k) So God punishes one sin by another, when he suffers
the wicked to fall into the acquaintance of a harlot.
22:15 Foolishness [is] bound l in the heart of a child; [but]
the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
(l) He is naturally given to it.
22:19 That thy trust may be in m the LORD, I have made known
to thee this day, even to thee.
(m) He shows what the end of wisdom is: that is, to direct
us to the Lord.
22:20 Have not I written to thee n excellent things in
counsels and knowledge,
(n) That is, various times.
22:24 Make o no friendship with an angry man; and with a
furious man thou shalt not go:
(o) Have nothing to do with him that is not able to rule
his affections: for he would hurt you by his evil
conversation.
22:26 Be not thou [one] of them that p strike hands, [or] of
them that are sureties for debts.
(p) Who rashly put themselves in danger for others, as in
(Pr 6:2).
