Proverbs 20:7

_ _ The conduct of good men proclaims their sound principles. God’s covenant and their good example secure blessing to their children (Proverbs 4:26; Psalms 112:1, Psalms 112:2).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Proverbs 20:7

_ _ It is here observed to the honour of a good man, 1. That he does well for himself. He has a certain rule, which with an even steady hand he governs himself by: He walks in his integrity; he keeps good conscience, and he has the comfort of it, for it is his rejoicing. He is not liable to those uneasinesses, either in contriving what he shall do or reflecting on what he has done, which those are liable to that walk in deceit. 2. That he does well for his family: His children are blessed after him, and fare the better for his sake. God has mercy in store for the seed of the faithful.
