Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

(Jeff_L) #1

Verse 30


An upright, contented, and benevolent mind, tends to health.

Verse 31


To oppress the poor is to reproach our Creator.

Verse 32

them. But godly men, though they have pain and some dread of death, have the blessed hope, which
God, who cannot lie, has given them.


Verse 33


Wisdom possesses the heart, and thus regulates the affections and tempers.

Verse 34


Piety and holiness always promote industry, sobriety, and honesty.

Verse 35


The great King who reigns over heaven and earth, will reward faithful servants who honour his
gospel by the proper discharge of the duties of their stations: he despises not the services of the
lowest.


Chapter 15
