Proverbs 27:13

. L. Tigurine version, Piscator; "vidit", Pagninus, Montanus; "videt", Mercerus, Cocceius, Gejerus, Schultens. Proverbs 27:13 Ver. 13. Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. See Gill on "Proverbs 20:16", where the same proverb is, and is expressed in the same words as here. Proverbs 27:14 Ver. 14. He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice,....

27:9,10. Depend not for relief upon a kinsman, merely for kindred's sake; apply to those who are at hand, and will help in need. But there is a Friend that sticketh closer than a brother, and let us place entire confidence in him. 11. An affectionate parent urges his son to prudent conduct that should gladden his heart. The good conduct of Christians is the best answer to all who find fault with the gospel. 12. Where there is temptation, if we thrust ourselves into it, there will be sin, and punishment will follow. 13. An honest man may be made a beggar, but he is not honest that makes himself one. 14. It is folly to be fond of being praised; it is a temptation to pride.#REF!#REF!

Possibly this is here repeated as a part of the father’s counsel to his son, begun Proverbs 27:11 , to avoid rash suretiship, to which young men are most prone, and by which they are exposed in the beginning of their days to many sins and miseries, which they carry with them to their graves.

## That rolleth a stone, to wit, up the hill, with design to do mischief to some person or thing with it. ## Proverbs 26:28 Hateth those that are afflicted by it, because by his calumnies he hath made them his enemies. ## A flattering mouth; which, though it be more smooth and plausible than a slandering mouth, yet is in truth no less pernicious, betraying others either to sin, or to danger and mischief. ## Proverbs 27:1 PROVERBS CHAPTER 27 ## Counsel against self-conceitedness, Pro_27:1 ,2 . The evil effects of envy, Pro_27:4. The praises of a faithful friend, Pro_27:5-10. The different fruits of prudence and folly, Pro_27:11 ,12 . Sundry rules and cautions, Pro_27:13-21. ## Of tomorrow; of any good thing which thou purposest to do or hopest to receive to-morrow, or hereafter; the thee being here put metonymically for things done or had in the thee, as Deu_4:32 Ecc_2:23. The same caution is given Jam_4:13, &c. ## What a day may bring forth; what may happen in the space of one day, which may hinder thy designs or expectations. The day is said to bring forth what God by his almighty power and providence doth either cause or suffer to be brought forth or done in it. Proverbs 27:2 Except it be really necessary, either for thy own just vindication, or for the honour of God, or for the edification of others, in which cases this hath been allowed and practised by wise and virtuous men, as particularly by St. Paul, 2Co_11:12.

27:12 This was delivered Pro_22:3, and is here repeated to enforce the foregoing exhortation, by representing the great advantage of wisdom. Proverbs 27:13 Possibly this is here repeated as a part of the father’s counsel to his son, begun Pro_27:11, to avoid rash suretiship, to which young men are most prone, and by which they are exposed in the beginning of their days to many sins and miseries, which they carry with them to their graves. ## Proverbs 27:14 He that blesseth his friend, that saluteth, or praiseth, and applaudeth him to his face, as the manner of flatterers is, ## with a loud voice, that both he and others may be sure to take notice of it; ## rising early in the morning to perform this office, to show his great forwardness, and diligence, and zeal in his service, which was the custom of the Romans afterward, and possibly of some of the Jews at this time; ## it shall be counted a curse to him his friend will value this kind of blessing no more than a curse, because it plainly discovers a base design, and is a high reflection upon him, as if he either did not understand such gross and palpable flattery, or were so ridiculously vain-glorious as to be pleased with it. Proverbs 27:15 Are equally troublesome, the first not suffering a man to go abroad with comfort, the latter not permitting him to stay at home with quietness. ## Proverbs 27:16 Whosoever hideth her, i.e.
