Wesley's Notes

23:7 So is he - You are not to judge of him by his words, but by the constant temper of his mind.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

23:1-3 God's restraints of the appetite only say, Do thyself no harm. 4,5. Be not of those that will be rich. The things of this world are not happiness and a portion for a soul; those that hold them ever so fast, cannot hold them always, cannot hold them long. 6-8. Do not make thyself burdensome to any, especially those not sincere. When we are called by God to his feast, and to let our souls delight themselves, Isa 25:6; 55:2, we may safely partake of the Bread of life. 9. It is our duty to take all fit occasions to speak of Divine things; but if what a wise man says will not be heard, let him hold his peace. 10,11. The fatherless are taken under God's special protection. He is their Redeemer, who will take their part; and he is mighty, almighty.


Proverbs 26:24 He who hates disguises it with his lips, But he lays up deceit in his heart.
Proverbs 26:25 When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart. (NASB ©1995)
