Proverbs 15:30 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.

The light of the eyes (the eyes of a great man regarding one with favour, Proverbs 16:15 ; especially the "light of God's countenance" lifted up upon one, Psalms 4:6 ; Psalms 36:9 ) rejoiceth the heart: (and) a good report maketh the bones fat - as it were, supplies them with marrow; affects with good the very inmost parts of the frame, through the sympathy that there is between the mind and the body. Such is the effect on the whole man of hearing effectually the Gospel "good report," or message of the King of kings.

Proverbs 15:30

30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
