Commentary on Proverbs 13:25

• Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Proverbs 13:25: Note, 1. It is the happiness of the righteous that they shall have enough and that they know when they have enough. They desire not to be surfeited, but, being moderate in their desires, they are soon satisfied. nature is content with a little and grace with less; enough is as good as a feast.
• John Gill (Reformed Baptist), Exposition of the Old and New Testaments on Proverbs 13:25: The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul,.... He is blessed with a sufficient competency to live upon; and he is contented with what he has, and uses it moderately; he has enough to eat, and is contented with his portion, and eats no more than sufficeth; he eats to the satisfying of his appetite, and no more; he does not indulge to luxury...
• Jamieson-Fausset-Brown (Reformed), Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible on Proverbs 13:25: The comparative temporal prosperity of the righteous and wicked, rather than contentment and discontent, is noted. Next: Proverbs Chapter 14
• Keil & Delitzsch (Lutheran), Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on Proverbs 13:25: Pro 13:25 25 The righteous has to eat to the satisfying of his soul; But the body of the godless must suffer want. Jerome translates תחסר freely by insaturabilis (he has want = has never enough), but in that case we would have expected תחסר תּמיד; also in 25a עד־שׂבע would have been used.
