The commentary is practical, hard-hitting, current, and spiritual. There is not a better one anywhere.

Proverbs 30:17

“The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother,
the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.”

Ever roll your eyes at your parents? The Almighty God was offended! Stay away from birds, especially big scavenger birds of prey! God condemns even facial disrespect of parents. He hates the irreverent looks, gestures, and attitudes toward parents that are common today. Learn to honor the first authority in your life.

Proverbs 5:19

“Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts
satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.”

Does size matter? No. Contentment and excitement with your wife are choices. Solomon warned his son to make three important choices – cherish his wife tenderly, focus on her body and sexuality only, and let her affection and devotion consume him. This inspired proverb can help any man have a great marriage.

Proverbs 22:2

“The rich and poor meet together:
the LORD is the maker of them all.”

When the rich and poor meet together, the rich despise the poor for their poverty and stupidity, and the poor envy the rich for their prosperity and arrogance. But the LORD made them both, and they have no reason to resent each other. For if the truth be told, they both arrived naked and destitute, and they shall both leave this world the same way.

Proverbs 16:4

“The LORD hath made all things for himself:
yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.”

Can seventeen words answer the world’s hardest four questions? Yes, in this proverb! Here are the final and true answers to four of life’s greatest questions: What is the origin of things? Why do they exist? Who is the true God? And why does evil exist? This single sentence is worth the weight of your house in gold!

Proverbs 6:6

“Go to the ant, thou sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise:”

Ants are great teachers. They can help you succeed professionally more than your academic or technical education. Ants are diligent and prudent: diligent by working hard without coercion, and prudent by saving part of all production. You need to learn these two basic rules for success to amount to anything in life.

Proverbs 11:22

“As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout,
so is a fair woman which is without discretion.”

Beauty is not much, if the woman with it does not know how to act. It is hard to appreciate a nose ring on a stinking, grunting, and hairy pig! Such is an attractive woman without the personal graces to be pleasant company. An average looking woman without discretion is just the sow without the nose ring!

Proverbs 11:16

“A gracious woman retaineth honour:
and strong men retain riches.”

Can ten words give a rule for success for women and one for men? Yes. One rule will make any woman delightful, and the other will help men keep their money. If we rank proverbs by brevity, wisdom, and value, this is one of the best. Delight in these ten words and the wisdom they give both women and men.

Proverbs 14:15

“The simple believeth every word:
but the prudent man looketh well to his going.”

Bernie Madoff made off with $50 billion of other’s money. The next Bernie may scam you, unless you learn to think critically. Solomon knew more about frauds and hoaxes than any man, and he gave a simple rule to protect you.
