Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Proverbs 28:25

_ _ of a proud heart — literally, “puffed up of soul” — that is, self-confident, and hence overbearing and litigious.

_ _ made fat — or, “prosperous” (Proverbs 11:25; Proverbs 16:20).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Proverbs 28:25

_ _ Note, 1. Those make themselves lean, and continually unquiet, that are haughty and quarrelsome, for they are opposed to those that shall be made fat: He that is of a proud heart, that is conceited of himself and looks with a contempt upon all about him, that cannot bear either competition or contradiction, he stirs up strife, makes mischief, and creates disturbance to himself and every body else. 2. Those make themselves fat, and always easy, that live in a continual dependence upon God and his grace: He who puts his trust in the Lord, who, instead of struggling for himself, commits his cause to God, shall be made fat. He saves the money which others spend upon their pride and contentiousness; he enjoys himself, and has abundant satisfaction in his God; and thus his soul dwells at ease, and he is most likely to have plenty of outward good things. None live so easily, so pleasantly, as those who live by faith.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Proverbs 28:25

Fat — Shall live happily and comfortably.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
