Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Proverbs 13:10

_ _ The obstinacy which attends self-conceit, produces contention, which the well-advised, thus evincing modesty, avoid.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Proverbs 13:10

_ _ Note, 1. Foolish pride is the great make-bate. Would you know whence come wars and fightings? They come from this root of bitterness. Whatever hand other lusts may have in contention (passion, envy, covetousness), pride has the great hand; it is its pride that it will itself sow discord and needs no help. Pride makes men impatient of contradiction in either their opinions or their desires, impatient of competition and rivalship, impatient of contempt, or any thing that looks like a slight, and impatient of concession, and receding, from a conceit of certain right and truth on their side; and hence arise quarrels among relations and neighbours, quarrels in states and kingdoms, in churches and Christian societies. Men will be revenged, will not forgive, because they are proud. 2. Those that are humble and peaceable are wise and well advised. Those that will ask and take advice, that will consult their own consciences, their Bibles, their ministers, their friends, and will do nothing rashly, are wise, as in other things, so in this, that they will humble themselves, will stoop and yield, to preserve quietness and prevent quarrels.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Proverbs 13:10

Pride — It is chiefly, pride which blows up the coals of contention. Well — advised — Who are not governed by their passions, but by prudent considerations. Wisdom — Which teaches them to avoid contention.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Proverbs 13:10

Only by pride (d) cometh contention: but with the well advised [is] wisdom.

(d) When as every man contends to have preeminence, and will not give place to another.
