 Proverbs Chapter 26


Proverbs 26 KJV


1. As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.


2. As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. [1]


[1] Not one of the 126 “anathema” pronounced by the Roman Catholic Church in the Council of Trent will come to pass on anyone who has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit, because “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law” (Gal. 3:13).


3. A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.


4. Answer not a fool according to his folly, [2] lest thou also be like unto him.


[2] Note the direct contradiction with verse 5. The verse can only be explained by doing personal work (which excludes most Hyperdispensationalists and Bible scholars).


5. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.


6. He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage. [a]


[a] Like Ben-hadad (1 Kings 20:10-20).


7. The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. [b]


[b] As illustrated by the way the Scholars’ Union handles the parables of Matt. 13.


8. As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.


9. As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.


10. The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.


11. As a dog returneth to his vomit, [c] so a fool returneth to his folly.


[c] 2 Pet. 2:22.


12. Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? [d] there is more hope of a fool than of him.


[d] Rom. 11:25.


13. The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.


14. As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.


15. The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.


16. The sluggard [e] is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.


[e] Prov. 6:6, 10:26, 13:4, 20:4 cf. Prov. 15:19, 19:24, 21:25, 24:30, 26:13).


17. He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.


18. As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,


19. So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?


20. Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. [f]


[f] James 3:5-6.


21. As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. [g]


[g] Vss. 21-28 apply prophetically to the Antichrist (Dan. 11:21) and inspirationally to any bad-mouthing gossip (1 Tim. 5:13; 2 Thess. 3:11; 1 Pet. 4:15).


22. The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.


23. Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.


24. He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;


25. When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.


26. Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.


27. Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.


28. A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

 RRB notes: Psalm 113


Psalms 113 KJV


1. Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.


2. Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. [a]


[a] The “time” is defined in vs. 3 as the Millennium (see notes on Psa. 111:4, 100:1, 72:7, 8:1).


3. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name is to be praised.


4. The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.


5. Who is like unto the LORD our God, [b] who dwelleth on high,


[b] Exod. 8:10; Deut. 33:26; 1 Sam. 2:2; 2 Sam. 7:22; 1 Kings 8:23; 1 Chron. 17:20; 2 Chron. 6:14; Isa. 46:9; Mic. 7:18.


6. Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!


7. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;


8. That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.


9. He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

Notes on Psa. 111:4 KJV


He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: [1] the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.


[1] The Lord “hath made his wonderful works to be remembered” by recording them in a Book, but that Book is only regarded by a small percentage of the world’s population during the Church Age (Mal. 3:16). The reference, here, is to the Millennium (vss. 6, 9). See Appendix 110. [Appendix 110 – The Restored Kingdom]

_______


Notes on Psa. 100:1 KJV


Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. [1]


[1] This verse will be fulfilled in the Millennium. It is not a reference to saved Gentiles on the mission field in the Church Age, nor was it fulfilled anywhere in the Old Testament.

_______


Notes on Psa. 72:7 KJV


In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace [f] so long as the moon endureth.


[f] See App. 17. [Appendix 17 — Peace on Earth]

_______


Notes on Psa. 8:1 KJV


O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! [1] who hast set thy glory above the heavens.


[1] The God of Israel has never had an excellent name “in all the earth,” but He will in the Millennium under a military dictatorship where He is the King (Psa. 72:9, 110:1-7; Isa. 2:2-4, 49:22-23; Rev. 2:26-27; App. 63, 110).
