Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Proverbs 22:4

_ _ humility and the fear of the Lord — are in apposition; one produces the other. On the results, compare Proverbs 3:16; Proverbs 8:18.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Proverbs 22:4

_ _ See here, 1. Wherein religion does very much consist — in humility and the fear of the Lord; that is, walking humbly with God. We must so reverence God's majesty and authority as to submit with all humility to the commands of his word and the disposals of his providence. We must have such low thoughts of ourselves as to behave humbly towards God and man. Where the fear of God is there will be humility. 2. What is to be gotten by it — riches, and honour, and comfort, and long life, in this world, as far as God sees good, at least spiritual riches and honour in the favour of God, and the promises and privileges of the covenant of grace, and eternal life at last.
