Wesley's Notes

15:30 A good report - A good name. Fat - Not only chears a man for the present, but gives him such stable comfort as revives his soul, and gives vigour to his body.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

30. light of the eyes-(Pr 13:9). What gives light rejoiceth the heart, by relieving from anxiety as to our course; so

good report-or, "doctrine" (Isa 28:9; 53:1),

maketh . fat-or, "gives prosperity" (Pr 3:13-17; 9:11). The last clause is illustrated by the first.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

15:29. God sets himself at a distance from those who set him at defiance. 30. How delightful to the humbled soul to hear the good report of salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ! 31. Faithful, friendly reproofs help spiritual life, and lead to eternal life. 32. Sinners undervalue their own souls; therefore they prefer the body before the soul, and wrong the soul to please the body. 33. The fear of the Lord will dispose us to search the Scriptures with reverence; and it will cause us to follow the leadings of the Holy Spirit. While we humbly place all our dependence on the grace of God, we are exalted in the righteousness of Christ.


Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.
Proverbs 15:31 He whose ear listens to the life-giving reproof Will dwell among the wise. (NASB ©1995)
