Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

Children are here exhorted to be wise and good, 1. That they may be a comfort to their parents and may make their hearts glad, even when the evil days come, and so recompense them for their care, Pro 23:15. 2.

John Gill Reformed Baptist @doctorgill

A prudent man foreseeth the evil,.... See Gill on Pro 22:3; or "seeth the evil" (f); the evil of sin, as it is contrary to the nature, will, and law and abominable in his sight; and not only the evil of gross actions of sin, but of indwelling lust; and such an one, who is wise to that which is good, sees the sad work...

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Reformed @jfbcommentary

The wisdom of children both reflects credit on parents and contributes to their aid in difficulties.
