Proverbs 15:30
_ _ light of the eyes — (Proverbs 13:9). What gives light rejoiceth the heart, by relieving from anxiety as to our course; so
_ _ good report — or, “doctrine” (Isaiah 28:9; Isaiah 53:1),
_ _ maketh ... fat — or, “gives prosperity” (Proverbs 3:13-17; Proverbs 9:11). The last clause is illustrated by the first. |
Proverbs 15:30
_ _ Two things are here pronounced pleasant: — 1. It is pleasant to have a good prospect to see the light of the sun (Ecclesiastes 11:7) and by it to see the wonderful works of God, with which this lower world is beautified and enriched. Those that want the mercy know how to value it; how would the light of the eyes rejoice their hearts! The consideration of this should make us thankful for our eyesight. 2. It is more pleasant to have a good name, a name for good things with God and good people; this is as precious ointment, Ecclesiastes 7:1. It makes the bones fat; it gives a secret pleasure, and that which is strengthening. It is also very comfortable to hear (as some understand it) a good report concerning others; a good man has no greater joy than to hear that his friends walk in the truth. |
Proverbs 15:30
A good report — A good name. Fat — Not only chears a man for the present, but gives him such stable comfort as revives his soul, and gives vigour to his body. |
