Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Proverbs 13:6

_ _ A sentiment of frequent recurrence, that piety benefits and sin injures.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Proverbs 13:6

_ _ See here, 1. Saints secured from ruin. Those that are upright in their way, that mean honestly in all their actions, adhere conscientiously to the sacred and eternal rules of equity, and deal sincerely both with God and man, their integrity will keep them from the temptations of Satan, which shall not prevail over them, the reproaches and injuries of evil men, which shall not fasten upon them, to do them any real mischief, Psalms 25:21.

Hic murus aheneus esto, nil conscire sibi.
Be this thy brazen bulwark of defence,
Still to preserve thy conscious innocence.

_ _ 2. Sinners secured for ruin. Those that are wicked, even their wickedness will be their overthrow at last, and they are held in the cords of it in the mean time. Are they corrected, destroyed? It is their own wickedness that corrects them, that destroys them; they alone shall bear it.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Proverbs 13:6

Keepeth him — From that over — throw which befal sinners.
