Commentary on Proverbs 11:2

• Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Proverbs 11:2: Observe, 1. How he that exalts himself is here abased, and contempt put upon him.

• Jamieson-Fausset-Brown (Reformed), Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible on Proverbs 11:2: Self-conceit is unteachable; the humble grow wise (compare Pro 16:18; Pro 18:12).
• Geneva Bible Notes (Reformed), Geneva Bible Study Notes on Proverbs 11:2: [When] pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly [is] wisdom. (b) When man so gets himself, and thinks to be exalted above his calling then God brings him to confusion.
