19:16 His ways - The commands of God.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

16. (Compare Pr 10:17; 13:13).

despiseth . ways-opposed to keeping or observing, neglects (Pr 16:17) (as unworthy of regard) his moral conduct.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

19:14. A discreet and virtuous wife is more valuable than house and riches. 15. A sluggish, slothful disposition makes men poor; it brings them to want. And this applies both to the present life and that which is to come. 16. If we keep God's word, God's word will keep us from every thing really hurtful. We abuse the doctrine of free grace, if we think that it does away the necessity and advantage of obedience. Those that live at random must die. This truth is clearly taught in words enough to alarm the stoutest sinner. 17. God has chosen the poor of this world, to be rich in faith, and heirs of his kingdom. 18. When parents keep under foolish tenderness, they do their best to render children a comfort to them, and happy in themselves.

Proverbs 13:13 The one who despises the word will be in debt to it, But the one who fears the commandment will be rewarded.

Proverbs 16:17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who watches his way preserves his life.

Luke 10:28 And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE."

Luke 11:28 But He said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it." (NASB ©1995)
