COMMENTARY:
DAILY SPIRITUAL BREAKFAST: Young Believers
: 1 Whoso loves instruction loves knowledge: but he that hates reproof is brutish. (1198 “brutish” [ba’ar] means stupidity, foolish, stubborn or senseless.)
DEVOTION: One of the facts of life is that some people are not teachable. It is not in their nature to listen to anyone. They are always right. They know everything.
I have met individuals who say they want help but they don’t listen to counsel and do their own thing. They come back for more counsel but then again do their own thing. Many counselors will tell you that they will never learn.
Here Solomon is instructing his son not to be one who doesn’t want correction. All of us need correction at one time or another in our life. All of us have areas that we are weak in whether it is in book knowledge or practical knowledge.
Correction is part of the Christian life. All Christians are called to a ministry of reconciliation. Every Christian sins. Every Christian needs to confess their sin and God is faithful and just to forgive their sins. Once an individual is a genuine believer the sin question is answered but the fellowship question is ongoing.
Remember as Paul states that those who don’t examine themselves will have sickness, weakness and premature death as a consequence. The Apostle John tells us in I John that there is a sin unto death for a believer. Our responsibility is to learn all we can and apply what we learn and tell others. We have to be lovers of truth. We have to be willing to be corrected. We cannot be stubborn or foolish.
CHALLENGE: We are to be students/teachers who are hearing the voice of God daily. Then applying it to our life and finally sharing what we learn with others.)
DAILY SPIRITUAL LUNCH: Transitional Believers
: 2 A good man obtains favor of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will HE condemn. (2896 “good” [towb] means desirable, efficient, pleasant, agreeable, better, excellent, better (comparative), a person who is good to other people or usable.)
DEVOTION: If most people are asked “Are you good?” would answer that they are good. However, our understanding of good and God’s understanding of good are two different things.
One who is good in the sight of the LORD are those who try to honor HIM in all they say and do. It is their goal each morning to go out of their house to help those who need help and especially to help others to come to know the LORD in a genuine way that will cause them to serve HIM while they are on this earth and will spend eternity in heaven will all those who are genuine believers in Jesus Christ.
So when we read good it doesn’t mean that we are sinless but that we are keeping short accounts with the LORD and asking HIM for help each day of our lives to give honor and glory to HIM.
We all fail at times but then we confess our sins and ask for forgiveness and move forward with an attitude of service to HIM. We understand that we will never be perfect but we will be forgiven. With that in mind we try each day to look to HIM for guidance and when we fail we confess and move on with the knowledge that HE loves us and will help us to be more consistent in our growth in HIM.
Those who fall into the category of “wicked” are those who have no desire in serving the LORD or confessing their sins to HIM because they see no need of doing that and they see no need to be good to others but to get what they can from others while they are alive.
God knows our attitude toward HIM and HE disciplines those who are trying to follow HIM for the purpose of our growth in our Christian life.
CHALLENGE: God knows our hearts and actions. Our goal needs to honor HIM every moment of every day or confess our sin and ask for HIS forgiveness and guidance from that point on.
: 3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. (8328 “root” [sheresh] means bottom, source, deep, heel, family, firmness, or permanence.)
DEVOTION: This chapter is a continuation of Solomon’s instructions to his son. He continues to deal with the difference between the wicked and the righteous. He deals with the use of the tongue. He deals with their work ethic. He deals with the use of money.
This verse gives us an illustration of the importance of family. The wicked don’t have a firm foundation to stand on. Wickedness does not prepare those who live by it for life. Their life is never stable.
However, those who are in the family of God have a firm foundation under them. Their family tree has a good source of nourishment. With the proper nourishment the tree grows strong and can face any weather that comes its way. Each generation is a new generation either for good or for evil. Godly parents have the responsibility to train their children the best they can even if they didn’t have a godly parent. Then those who train their children properly in the ways of the LORD need to help their children train their grandchildren in the ways of the LORD. If we can reach a third generation with the way of the LORD it is even greater. Start with your generation and move forward for the glory of the LORD.
This is also true of those who receive their nourishment from the LORD. When the storms of life come, they can stand firm. We know that there are two kinds of foundations talked about in Scripture.
There is a wise man who built his house upon a rock and there is a foolish man who built his house upon the sand. This verse is connected to verse twelve. Both verses talk about a firmness of the righteous. This firmness is only found in Jesus Christ. All other types of foundation are sinking sand.
When a follower of God is described, he is said to have a good foundation. Our roots need to go deep. Are we building good teaching on our foundation of Jesus Christ? The church today is wandering into the world more than into the Word of God. Don’t follow a church that is wandering away from the Word of God. There is nothing new under the sun.
The established doctrines of the church need to be followed as long as they are based on the Word of God. We don’t need to start over again from scratch like some seem to teach. This devotional lists the basic doctrines of the faith. Once the Bible is covered you will have a Biblical Theology that you can turn into a Systemic Theology.
CHALLENGE: Don’t just learn theology to look smart. Learn it to be Godly. Good doctrine/theology helps us to know the LORD better.
DAILY SPIRITUAL SUPPER: Mature Believers
: 16 A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covers shame. (7036 “shame” [qalown] means confusion, dishonor, ignominy, reproach, or a state of dishonor.)
DEVOTION: How do you react when someone says something against you? Do you respond quickly or wait to make sure that you are going to reply in a Biblical manner? Many of the Old Testament saints were falsely accused of something. Even Jesus was falsely accused of things by the Pharisees of HIS day.
How does God want us to respond to those who say something against us? Here we find Solomon under the ministry of the Holy Spirit writes what advice he would give his son if something like this happens.
Those who are not followers of the LORD gets mad and says things he might regret later but says them anyways because he doesn’t think before he talks. The believer is supposed to be someone who thinks before he reacts and even if it is false will wait to reply or just look to see if there is any basis for the comments made to him.
The fool gets made and says things he shouldn’t and uses words he shouldn’t. The man who is trying to honor the LORD will always watch his reaction and his words according to this verse.
It is not easy to allow people to say things that are not true about us but it going to happen and the LORD wants us to respond as HIS Son did while HE was on this earth. HE truly knew how to turn the other cheek.
CHALLENGE: Have we learned to turn the other cheek when someone says something about us whether it is true or false? This is a lesson we need to learn graciously.

QUOTES regarding passage
12:2. Proverbs uses many words to describe the righteous and the wise, such as upright (11:3, 11), blameless (11:5), a man of understanding (11:12), trustworthy (11:13), kind (11:17), generous (11:25), prudent (12:16, 23), truthful (v. 22). In verse 2 good is another characteristic. Such a person is blessed with God’s favor (rāṣôn, “acceptance”; see comments on 8:35). But a person who is crafty (cf. 14:17) or deceptively shrewd not only is not favored by God; he is also condemned (“declared guilty”; cf. Ex. 22:9) by God. (Buzzell, S. S. (1985). Proverbs. In J. F. Walvoord & R. B. Zuck (Eds.), The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures (Vol. 1, p. 930). Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.)
2024a קָלוֹן (qālôn) shame, disgrace.
This root signifies the lowering of another’s social position; cf. qālal (q.v.). Our root frequently occurs as the opposite of glory and honor (kābēd). It occurs twenty-three times. Distinguish qālâ I “parched, roasted.”
God orders his people not to punish a man who starts a pugilistic duel with more than forty stripes lest he be degraded (put in an unwarranted social position) in their sight, because he is a brother Israelite (Deut 25:3). In view of his material and social inferiority (cf. rûš), David declined becoming the king’s son-in-law because this would have degraded that position (I Sam 18:23). Fulfilling Saul’s request he advanced his social position. Isaiah describes the ungodly chaos of his day wherein covenantal relationships were reversed. Brother oppresses brother, and the young exalt themselves over the aged (cf. Lev 19:32, qûm, q.v.), and the base (those who do not deserve honor) against those who are worthy of honor (Isa 3:5).
The Psalmist beseeches God to show his proud enemies their place (Ps 83:16 [H 17]). Knowledge of one’s true stance before God is required of all who are to seek God. God says that he will change Israel’s self-acclaimed glory into their rightful social position—dishonor (Hos 4:7). He will expose their true state for all to see (Jer 13:26). Man’s sinful heart leads him to self-exaltation, claiming credit for the blessings graciously bestowed by God. But God thrusts his creations into an objective state more clearly reflecting reality and thus engenders repentance (Deut 9:5).
קָלוֹן (qālôn). Shame, disgrace, abuse, dishonor. This noun represents the effect on the object(s) of the action exercised in the verb. It denotes a state wherein its referent is as if he were in a lower social position than he in fact occupies. This noun occurs exclusively in poetical contexts, but is not a late word. Cf. Ugaritic qlt (UT 19: no. 2231). L.J.C. (Coppes, L. J. (1999). 2024 קָלָה. R. L. Harris, G. L. Archer Jr., & B. K. Waltke (Eds.), Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (electronic ed., p. 799). Chicago: Moody Press.)
The characteristics of fools described in this text are that (a) they react thoughtlessly to real or imagined insults and hurt others with careless words (vv. 16–18), (b) they are liars but will last only a short time and incur the wrath of God (vv. 17, 19,22), and (c) they scheme and deceive but only bring trouble on their own heads (vv. 20–21). The wise, however, (a) react with patience in the face of insults and heal others with their words (vv. 16, 18), (b) are honest and gain long life and divine favor (vv. 17, 19, 22), and (c) seek the well-being of others and obtain the same for themselves (vv. 20–21). The text stresses the importance of the right use of the power of words (i.e., the benefit of all concerned). ([1] Garrett, D. A. (1993). Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of songs (Vol. 14, pp. 132–133). Nashville: Broadman & Holman Publishers.)
16 Those who are mature are able to handle criticism without responding instinctively and irrationally. McKane says that the fool’s reaction is “like an injured animal and so his opponent knows that he has been wounded” (p. 442). The wise man does not give the enemy that satisfaction. It is not so much that the wise man represses anger or feelings but that he is more shrewd in dealing with it. (Ross, A. P. (1991). Proverbs. In F. E. Gaebelein (Ed.), The Expositor’s Bible Commentary: Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs (Vol. 5, p. 971). Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House.)
Two things are here stated as being characteristic of the man who is denominated a fool; that is, one who lacks divine wisdom. He is proud and self-confident, refusing to brook correction: on the other hand, he is intolerant of others’ faults, manifesting his indignation readily, and making worse the wound in place of binding up. The wise and prudent man is in every way the contrast to all this. He is hardest on himself; consequently readily accepts counsel, willingly owning that others may be wiser than he; and he is ever ready to cover the shame of another, rather than to tell it abroad. It is the same contrast that existed in the days of Noah, when Ham unblushingly related the tale of his father’s shame, as though himself superior to his sire; while Shem and Japheth went backwards to cover their dishonored parent (Gen. 9). (Ironside, H. A. (1908). Notes on the Book of Proverbs (p. 137). Neptune, NJ: Loizeaux Bros.)
12:15–16. Two marks of a fool and of a wise man are given in these verses: the fool (’ěwîl, “a hardened, thickheaded fool”) thinks his way is right (cf. 21:2), which explains why he will not receive instruction (cf. 1:7); when he is annoyed (perhaps by an insult) he immediately shows it. A wise (prudent; see comments on 12:23) man, in contrast, is open to advice (cf. 10:17; 11:14; 12:1), and is not annoyed by insults. Overlooks means not that he ignores the insult but that he controls his response to it or forgives it. The same verb (kāsâh) in 10:12 is translated “covers.” “Insult” is rendered “disgrace” in 11:2. (Buzzell, S. S. (1985). Proverbs. In J. F. Walvoord & R. B. Zuck (Eds.), The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures (Vol. 1, p. 931). Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.)
16. The “fool” cannot restrain his wrath; it rushes on “presently” (as in the margin, on the same day), however uselessly. The prudent man knows that to utter his indignation at reproach and shame will but lead to a fresh attack, and takes refuge in reticence. (Barnes, A. (1879). Notes on the Old Testament: Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Jeremiah, Lamentations & Ezekiel. (F. C. Cook & J. M. Fuller, Eds.) (p. 40). London: John Murray.)
16. A fool’s wrath is presently (in that day, Marg.) known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
Let the tongue be ever under discipline. An unbridled tongue is the proof of an unrenewed heart. But specially never let it be loose in a moment of wrath. How readily is the fool known by his wrath! He has no command of himself. On the first rising, he bursts out with an ungovernable impulse. Truly is wrath called shame. For is it not a shame, that unruly passions should as it were trample reason under foot, disfigure even the countenance, and subjugate the whole man to a temporary madness? What else were Saul’s unseemly sallies against David and Jonathan;10 Jezebel’s boiling rage against Elijah; Nebuchadnezzar’s unreasonable decree to kill his wise men, because they could not interpret his vision?12
Yet far more painful is the sight of the fool’s wrath in the children of God; in Moses, the meekest of men; in David, “the man after God’s own heart;”14 in “Asa, whose heart was perfect with God all his days.” Nothing more excites the scoff of the ungodly, than the sight of these gross ebullitions, which Divine grace ought to restrain. But what is “man in his best estate,” if left to himself! animated with the spirit of a wild beast! in that day he becomes an object of shame.
Self-control, that covers the shame, and represses the rising fermentation, is true Christian prudence. Even as a matter of policy, it is most commendable.18 But as a gracious principle, it is indeed a victory more honorable than the martial triumph; not only subduing our own spirit, but melting the hardness of our adversary.20
Do we feel our temper at any time ready to rise? Cry instantly to Him who quiets the storm. Keep before our eyes his blessed example, “who, being reviled, reviled not again;”22 and be what we behold. (Bridges, C. (1865). An Exposition of the Book of Proverbs (p. 124). New York: Robert Carter & Brothers.)
FROM MY READING:
(Remember the only author that I totally agree with is the HOLY SPIRIT in the inerrant WORD OF GOD called THE BIBLE! All other I try to gleam what I can to help me grow in the LORD!!)
Beware of false teachers who may lead you or others astray.
INSIGHT
Lack of integrity is fast becoming a sign of our age. Once highly respected, many professionals are falling into disrepute: lawyers, doctors, journalists, and, most unfortunate of all, ministers. Whereas we once could invest considerable trust in these people, we now must exercise caution and discernment. With the proliferation of books, radio, television, and magazines, the opportunity for unscrupulous or inadequate ministers to foist themselves upon the public increases. Anything we hear being taught must carefully be compared with the Bible and other Bible teachers whom we know to be credible. We must take care not to be led astray by false teaching. (QuietWalk)
Exalting the Anointed One
“The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.” (1 Samuel 2:10)
This is a remarkable prayer, uttered under divine inspiration by Hannah, thanking God for the miraculous birth of Samuel. It contains the first explicit reference in the Bible to the Messiah (“anointed,” in the Hebrew, is Messiah, equivalent to the Greek “Christ”). Hannah’s prophetic prayer predicts the ultimate exaltation of Messiah over all the adversaries of the Lord to the very ends of the earth.
Hannah also prophesied the coming of the Lord’s great King. Yet this was during the time of the judges, long before the people of Israel even began to request a king.
In fact, the entire prophecy is the first of many similar prophecies throughout the Bible that look forward to the return of the Lord “out of heaven” to judge all nations, to destroy His enemies, and to establish His anointed one as King of the earth.
There is nothing comparable to this prophecy in the earlier books of the Bible, but it is a theme often emphasized in the psalms and in the books of prophecy, as well as in the New Testament. For example, note David’s great prophecy: “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed. . . . Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath. . . . Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. . . . and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession” (Psalm 2:2, 5-6, 8).
There are many similar later prophecies, but it is significant that the first one also contains the first mention of Messiah, and that was from the lips of a humble, but devout, mother. (HMM, The Institute for Creation Research)
