Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

32-35. Reasons for the warning.

froward-(Pr 2:15).

secret . righteous-in their communion (Am 3:7).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:27-35 Our business is to observe the precepts of Christ, and to copy his example; to do justice, to love mercy, and to beware of covetousness; to be ready for every good work, avoiding needless strife, and bearing evils, if possible, rather than seeking redress by law. It will be found there is little got by striving. Let us not envy prosperous oppressors; far be it from the disciples of Christ to choose any of their ways. These truths may be despised by the covetous and luxurious, but everlasting contempt will be the portion of such scorners, while Divine favour is shown to the humble believer.

Job 29:4 As I was in the prime of my days, When the friendship of God was over my tent;

Psalm 25:14 The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His covenant.

Proverbs 11:20 The perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, But the blameless in their walk are His delight. (NASB ©1995)
