Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Proverbs 19:20

_ _ (Compare Proverbs 13:18-20).

_ _ latter end — (Proverbs 5:11). In youth prepare for age.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Proverbs 19:20

_ _ Note, 1. It is well with those that are wise in their latter end, wise for their latter end, for their future state, wise for another world, that are found wise when their latter end comes, wise virgins, wise builders, wise stewards, that are wise at length, and understand the things that belong to their peace, before they be hidden from their eyes. A carnal worldling at his end shall be a fool (Jeremiah 17:11), but godliness will prove wisdom at last. 2. Those that would be wise in their latter end must hear counsel and receive instruction, in their beginnings must be willing to be taught and ruled, willing to be advised and reproved, when they are young. Those that would be stored in winter must gather in summer.
