Commentary on Proverbs 24:14

• Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Proverbs 24:13-14: We are here quickened to the study of wisdom by the consideration both of the pleasure and the profit of it. 1. It will be very pleasant. We eat honey because it is sweet to the taste, and upon that account we call it good, especially that which runs first from the honey-comb.
• John Gill (Reformed Baptist), Exposition of the Old and New Testaments on Proverbs 24:14: Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous,.... The church of God, which is the righteous man's dwelling place, and where he desires and delights to dwell; or his own dwelling house; it may be rendered, "at the dwelling of the righteous" (p); lay not wait at his door to observe who goes in and out, and what is done there...
• Jamieson-Fausset-Brown (Reformed), Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible on Proverbs 24:14: reward--literally, "after part," the proper result (compare Pro 23:18; Psa 37:37-38).
• Keil & Delitzsch (Lutheran), Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on Proverbs 24:13-14: Pro 24:13-14 The proverb now following stands in no obvious relation with the preceding. But in both a commencement is made with two lines, which contain, in the former, the principal thought; in this here, its reason: 13 My son, eat honey, for it is good, And honeycomb is sweet to thy taste.
