Proverbs 11:2 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

When pride cometh, then cometh shame Pride, as it is the effect of folly, so it bringeth a man to contempt and destruction, such persons being under the displeasure of God, and disliked by all men. But with the lowly is wisdom Whereby they are kept from those foolish and wicked actions which expose men to shame. The integrity of the upright, &c. Their sincere obedience to God's laws; shall guide them Shall keep them from crooked and dangerous courses, and lead them in a right and safe way. But the perverseness of transgressors Those wicked devices by which they design and expect to secure themselves; shall destroy them Shall be the very causes of their destruction.

Proverbs 11:2-3

2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
