Commentary on Proverbs 1:25

  • Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Proverbs 1:20-33: Solomon, having shown how dangerous it is to hearken to the temptations of Satan, here shows how dangerous it is not to hearken to the calls of God, which we shall for ever rue the neglect of. Observe, I. By whom God calls to us - by wisdom. It is wisdom that crieth without.
  • John Gill (Reformed Baptist), Exposition of the Old and New Testaments on Proverbs 1:25: But ye have set at nought all my counsel,.... The same with "the counsel of God", Act 20:27. The whole Gospel, and all the truths of it; the entire scheme of salvation by Jesus Christ, which is the produce of divine wisdom, and is according to the counsel of the divine will, and his eternal purpose in Christ Jesus; this the Jews set at nought...
  • Jamieson-Fausset-Brown (Reformed), Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible on Proverbs 1:25: set at naught--rejected as of no value. would none of--literally, "were not willing or inclined to it."
  • Keil & Delitzsch (Lutheran), Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on Proverbs 1:24-27: Pro 1:24-27 The address of Wisdom now takes another course. Between Pro 1:23 and Pro 1:24 there is a pause, as between Isa 1:20 and Isa 1:21. In vain Wisdom expects that her complaints and enticements will be heard. Therefore she turns her call to repentance into a discourse announcing judgment.
