Proverbs 20:6,7 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness “Most men are ready enough to claim to themselves a large share of piety and virtue;” but a faithful man who can find? “Where is that man of true and undissembled virtue to be found, who studies rather to be, than to seem, good?” There are but few such. Schultens. The just man walketh in his integrity He proves himself to be righteous, not only by his profession, which is spoken of in the former sentence, but by his upright and unblameable conversation. His children are blessed after him By virtue of that covenant which God hath made with such men, which is not confined to their persons, but entails blessings upon their posterity.
