Proverbs 22:19 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.

That thy trust may be in the Lord (the true end of knowledge, Proverbs 22:17 , and of utterance, Proverbs 22:18 ), I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. The repetition is for emphasis. To thee, to thy very self, whosoever thou art that readest or hearest (Genesis 27:34). If heretofore thou hast not known or attended to my words, I set them before thee NOW. "This day" extends to each generation in succession that reeds this book (Psalms 95:7; Hebrews 3:7; Hebrews 3:15; Hebrews 4:7). Thou canst not plead the excuse that thou hast never heard.
