Proverbs 27:14 He that blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

Adam Clarke's Commentary.by Gary Gallant."He who makes loud and public protestations of acknowledgments to his friend for favours received, subjects his sincerity to suspicion. Remember the Italian proverb elsewhere quoted: "He who praises you more than he was wont to do, has either deceived you, or is about to; extravagant public professions are little to be regarded"
Jamieson, Fausset, Brown Commentary."Excessive zeal in praising raises suspicions of selfishness."
Matthew Henry's Commentary."It is folly to be fond of being praised; it is a temptation to pride":.James 4:13-16.

Proverbs 27:15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so also a man can sharpen others, such as those who are friends.

The verse is about helping others to be sharp in mind; includes your children. Purpose is to bring others to your level so they can even go beyond where you may be. A good example of this is Sheila Holm and what she has to say:.https://t.me/Nation_Restoration

Proverbs 27:21 As the fining pot for silver and the furnace for gold, so a man should be to his praise.

Proverbs 28:2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof, but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

It's saying that many leaders are corrupt and that one who is also a leader and who isn't corrupt will produce the peace necessary to benefit others. How's this work?

Proverbs 28:3 A poor.(original connotes 'he who doesn't have much and is out to get what he can from another, because he is selfish, dishonest and cares not for others also in need').man that oppresses the poor.(original here is 'those in need, but who aren't like this other 'poor' man').is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.

Proverbs 28:4 They that forsake the law.(whatever law is good for all, such as what constitutional law would produce) is the same as if they were on the side of the wicked ones, but such as keep the law contend with them.

Proverbs 28:5 Evil men discern not judgment.(those of the lowest ordinary consciousness just don't see what's appropriate and what's not, because they lack wisdom and  insight and they lack wisdom and insight because their foundation in life revolves around their money and position, not yet the true all loving God), but they that seek the Lord.(seek to have God's mind on what their personal concerns may be).have comprehension.(that is, are able to comprehend).

Proverbs 28:13 He that covers his sins shall not prosper, but whoso confesses.(original for 'confesses' here is 'giving thanks'; good hearted people are thankful when they see where they have been wrong; evil hearted people get angry).and forsakes them shall have mercy.

Original for 'mercy' is 'deep love', 'compassion' and 'affection'. How does one forsake these things hindering him or her from living abundantly in all areas of life?.3John 1:2. He must see the opposite. The multiverse is set up (*) so that when an individual takes a heartfelt action, there's an automatic reaction.

Don't go along with evils. Some do that for money, not realizing what he or she is bringing upon themselves.

Isaiah 54:16.

Proverbs 28:25 He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife; but he that puts his trust in the Lord is made fat.

Mothers shouldn't be off and away from their primary.responsibility of raising their children. Homeschool them. Show them how to have fun with others and to appreciate humor and to avoid the stupidity of silliness many poorly educated adolescents are like.

Proverbs 29:16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases, but the righteous shall see their fall.

Those who want only good.notice when life is threatening to take them off the track.

Proverbs 29:17 Correct your son and he shall give you rest, yea, he shall give delight unto your soul.

Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish.(original, 'let alone', neglected', ignored'; changes come for the good when one has vision). But he that keeps the law.(what law?), happy is he.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure.(original is better rendered 'is able to purify'). He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.(Psalms 62:8).

Proverbs 30:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies. Give me neither poverty.(the state of being poor).nor riches.(why no riches? they didn't know there was a way of thinking that would align them with God and in the New Testament era, there's a gift to get you all you want. Learn about it). Feed me with food convenient.(Barnes New Testament Notes says, 'literally, give me for food, the bread of my appointed portion':.Matthew 6:11).for me,

Proverbs 30:9 Lest I be full and deny you and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor and steal and take the name of my God in vain.

Stealing is dishonesty and is one of the acts of low consciousness people. Stealing is the same as taking the name of God in vain.

Be careful in life, don't be accusatory; things can turn around and bite you.

They are the grave and the barren womb, the Earth that is not filled with water and fire.

Solomon is saying in this verse that there are things in everyone's life which are never satisfied making us feel that we always need more, so learn to live life realizing you too won't have everything in place as you may want.

Proverbs 30:17 The eye that mocks at his father and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out and the young eagles shall eat it..(*)

Proverbs 30:18,19 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not. The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea and the way of a man with a maid.

The wisdom of Solomon here explains that the undulations in sex of man and woman are such a wondrous.design, showing how amazing is the mind of God.

Proverbs 30:20 Such is this way of an adulterous woman, she eates and wipes her mouth and says, I have done no wickedness.

The spider takes hold with her hands and is in kings' palaces.

Proverbs 30:29-31 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going.(original for 'comely in going' is 'good to walk away from'): A lion which is strongest among beasts and turns not away for any; A greyhound, an he goat also and a king, against whom there is no rising up. 

Proverbs 30:32 If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself or if you have thought evil, lay your hand upon your mouth.

Barnes New Testament Notes:."the act expresses the silence of humiliation and repentance.(repentance means an attitude of change).after the sin has been committed, and that of self-restraint, which checks the haughty or malignant thought before it has passed even into words."; keep any negative feelings you may have from affecting any situation.

Proverbs 30:33 Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood, so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.

Proverbs 25:8.

Proverbs 31:1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy.(original for word 'prophecy' is 'burden', that is, a heavy instruction for him to learn and carry with him all his life).that his mother taught him.

Proverbs 31:2,3 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? Give not your strength unto women.(don't be out screwing around with a lot of women), nor your ways to that which destroys kings.

They get over involved in all they do and this takes their mind away from the character things that'll last beyond life.

Proverbs 31:4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes strong drink.

Proverbs 31:5 Lest they drink and forget the law and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.

Proverbs 31:8 Open your mouth for the dumb.(Clarke's.has it 'those who cannot plead for themselves', as Moses needed someone also to speak for him:.Exodus 4:10-16).in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

Original for word 'appointed' is 'children' and original for word 'destruction' is 'bereavement', so 'children of bereavement' or 'bereaved children'; those who need help.

Isaiah 58:10.

Proverbs 31:9 Open your mouth, judge righteously and plead the cause.(stand up for:.Isaiah 1:17; Jeremiah 22:3,13).of the poor and needy.

More on the poor amongst you:.John 12:8.

Proverbs 31:10-19 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband does safely trust in her, so that he has no need of spoil.(no worry that she will cause loss). She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax and works willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' ships as she brings her food from afar.(goes out to shop in order to plan interesting meals). She rises also while it is yet night.(gets up before sunrise to prepare breakfast for her family).and gives meat.(food).to her household and a portion to her maidens.(provides well for the servants). She considers a field and buys it.(adept in real estate transactions). With the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.(knows gardening to provide fresh food). She girds.(surrounds).her loins with strength and strengthens her arms.(keeps herself in shape). She perceives that her merchandise is good.(has confidence in her ability to do good work that is appreciated by others). Her candle goes not out by night.(loves her life so much she has to drag herself to bed). She lays her hands to the spindle and her hands hold the distaff.

'Distaff' is that which holds the threads she works with in making garments; she's a good sewer.

Proverbs 31:20 She stretches out her hand to the poor.(she's kind, helpful and compassionate); yea, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.

More on the poor amongst you:.John 12:8.

Proverbs 31:21-26 She is not afraid of the snow for her household.(she's made her family ready for winter). For all her household are clothed with scarlet. She makes herself coverings of tapestry.(dresses attractively); her clothing is silk and purple.(makes the finest to adorn herself). Her husband is known in the gates.(does her best to be sure her mate appears well and is respected in public), when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes fine linen and sells it.(an.industrious and enterprising woman).and delivers girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing and she rejoices in times to come.(she's positive and hopeful towards the future; not a sad negative downer). She opens her mouth with wisdom.(she is obviously learned and a thinker and unafraid of interaction with others).and in her tongue is the law of kindness.(not out to hurt another's feelings).

Proverbs 31:27 She looks well to the ways of her household.(takes care of her responsibilities in looking after her family).and eats not the bread of idleness.(not a couch potato, lazing around waiting for life to happen; get out into nature).

Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise up and call her blessed. Her husband also and he praises her.

Proverbs 31:29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but you excel them all.

Proverbs 31:30 Favour is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman that fears the Lord, she is worthy of praise.

Proverbs 31:30 Favour is deceitful.(closer to the original, 'charm can be used for deceitful purposes, such as, getting a man just for what money she could get, as the ancient low consciousness bitch Delilah did to Samson:.Judges 16:4-21).and beauty is vain.(so, don't go with a woman just because she is beautiful and ladies, be as beautiful as you can be; important thing overall on Earth and eternally is the spiritual, but have fun with the physical along the way; make talking with God {meditation with prayer} important and all else falls into place, maybe not right away, but eventually; it gives substance to life), but a woman that fears.(what's this mean?).the Lord, she is worthy of praise.(original for word 'praise' is 'shine', that is, when her youthful charming ways and beauty wane, she will continue to shine and that's the important thing; look into the distance of your life and consider where a relationship may take you over the years; use the rate a mate).

There are good woman and there are evil bitches.

Proverbs chapter 31 contains King Lemuel's words from advice of his mother (verse 1) to keep him on the right track of life. Verse 30 is showing an important thing his mother taught him to focus on and that is a girl who 'sees' and respects the presence of the God in herself, that is, higher consciousness thinking is important to her.

Proverbs 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates.
