Proverbs Outline and Commentary Post 9 Weekly Sunday/Wednesday Series, Chapter 11-6, October 3, 2018

Welcome all my Friends, to the 'sanctuary room' of my house in and with Jesus. 

For Proverbs Chapter 11, let's dig a little deeper.  We will post it in sections, of course, continuing with the Holy Scripture, with comments, and, cross reference Holy Bible passages.  

So, get ready with you notebook and pen to hear what the Holy Spirit will speak to you.  There will be a total of six posts during our Sunday/Wednesday time periods.  Take your time.  Enjoy coming into the Presence of the Lord, for wisdom, to praise Him, for Guidance and just to take some time to just love Him and receive His love to and for you.  Amen. Amen.  audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

Now, on our sixth and final post for Chapter 11, let's continue to 'break it down', taking each morsel as 'bit size chucks'.  Therefore, not only the 'Scripture' by verse, but, including the 'cross references' for you to use, as well as the specific commentary for the verse, by verse. Continue to look up all the Scriptures.

Cautions against bad company, Exhortation to faith and holiness. (14-31) 

27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him. [Esther 7:10]
28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. [Job 31:24; Psalm 1:3]
29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart. [Proverbs 14:19; Ecclesiastes 5:16]
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. [Daniel 12:3]
31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
[Jeremiah 25:29; 1 Peter 4:18]

​Commentary on Proverbs 11:27 
Seeking mischief is here set against seeking good; for those that are not doing good are doing hurt, even to themselves.
Commentary on Proverbs 11:28
The true believer is a branch of the living Vine. When those that take root in the world wither, those who are grafted into Christ shall be fruitful. [John 14:1-15:11]
Commentary on Proverbs 11:29
He that brings trouble upon himself and his family, by carelessness, or by wickedness, shall be unable to keep and enjoy what he gets, as a man is unable to hold the wind, or to satisfy himself with it.
Commentary on Proverbs 11:30
The righteous are as trees of life; and their influence upon earth, like the fruits of that tree, support and nourish the spiritual life in many. [See Psalm 1-3, with verse 3, to wit: 'And he [the righteous man], shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.']
Commentary on Proverbs 11:31
Even the righteous, when they offend on earth, shall meet with sharp corrections; much more will the wicked meet the due reward of their sins. Let us then seek those blessings which our Surety purchased by his sufferings and death; let us seek to copy his example, and to keep his commandments.

[Comments from Matthew Henry Concise Commentary, with Scripture Quotes from King James Version, Online, and emphasis indicated and by SMQ].

For thorough Bible Study in the home, this is one of the most valuable and intense ways to do it.  Further, as you are looking up more of the passages, you will be surprised how much Scriptures are being 'planted' in your heart for the Holy Spirit to bring it to your remembrance down the road, when you need the instruction, comfort, or direction. [John 14:26]  You will hear more 'answers to prayers', for there will be more 'word of the Lord' for Him to use to speak with to you.  Hallelujah Chorus Time!  Amen. Amen. 

I pray that as I, you are appreciating the value of the wisdom found in the Proverbs.  If so, then let us be not just the 'hearers', but, the 'doers' in accordance with these Biblical Principles. [James 1:20-25]  Amen. Amen. ​​
