The tongue of the just is sincere, freed from the dross of guile and evil design. Pious discourse is spiritual food to the needy. Fools die for want of a heart, so the word is; for want of thought.

mhcc@Proverbs:28:24. @ Verse 24. -. Here is the wickedness of those who think it no sin to rob their parents, by wheedling them or threatening them, or by wasting what they have, and running into debt.25. Those make themselves always easy, that live in continual dependence upon God and his grace, and live by faith.26. A fool trusts to his own strength, merit, and righteousness. And trusts to his own heart, which is not only deceitful above all things, but which has often deceived him.27. A selfish man not only will not look out for objects of compassion, but will look off from those that call for his attention.28. When power is put into the hands of the wicked, wise men decline public business. If the reader will go diligently over this and the other chapters, in many places where at first he may suppose there is least of Christ, still he will find what will lead to him. **** Matthew Henry's Commentary ****

mhcc@Proverbs:29:11. @ Verse 11. -. He is a fool who tells every thing he knows, and can keep no counsel.12. One who loves flatterers, and hearkens to slanderers, causes his servants to become liars and false accusers.13. Some are poor, others have a great deal of deceitful riches. They meet in the business of this world; the Lord gives to both the comforts of this life. To some of both sorts he gives his grace.14. The rich will look to themselves, but the poor and needy the prince must defend and plead for.15. Parents must consider the benefit of due correction, and the mischief of undue indulgence.16. Let not the righteous have their faith and hope shocked by the increase of sin and sinners, but let them wait with patience.17. Children must not be suffered to go without rebuke when they do amiss.18. How bare does a place look without Bibles and ministers! and what an easy prey is it to the enemy of souls! That gospel is an open vision, which holds forth Christ, which humbles the sinner and exalts the Saviour, which promotes holiness in the life and conversation: and these are precious truths to keep the soul alive, and prevent it from perishing.
