PROVERBS 8:13 MEANING AND COMMENTARY


Proverbs 8:13

The fear of the Lord [is] to hate evil
All evil in general, evil thoughts, evil words, evil actions, evil company, evil
worship, and evil doctrines; and by "the fear of the Lord", which shows itself
in an hatred of evil, because of the loathsome nature of it, and being contrary
to God and his will, and as it appears in the glass of the law, and especially
in the glass of pardoning love, is meant not the fear of his judgments and
wrath, or a distrust of his grace and goodness, much less an hypocritical fear,
or a mere show of devotion; but a reverential affection for him, which is
peculiar to children; a filial, godly fear, which is consistent with strong
faith, great joy, and true courage; and is opposite to pride and
self-confidence, and is accompanied with real holiness; it takes its rise from
the grace of God, and is greatly increased and promoted by the discoveries of
his love and goodness: this is brought into the account and description of
wisdom, to distinguish it from carnal wisdom; to commend wisdom from its
holiness; for this the beginning of wisdom, yea, wisdom itself, ( Job 28:28 ) (
Psalms 111:10 ) ( Proverbs 1:7 ) ( 9:10 ) ;

pride and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I
hate;
these are the particulars of evil, which Wisdom, or Christ, declares his hatred
of. "Pride", which appears in men in thinking too highly of themselves, in
speaking too well of themselves, in despising others, in setting up and trusting
to their own righteousness for salvation, and in crying up the purity and power
of human nature; this is very contrary to the spirit of the meek and lowly
Jesus, and must be hateful to him: "arrogancy" differs little from pride, and
the two words in the Hebrew are very much the same, very little differ; it is an
ascribing that to a man's self which does not belong to him, whether in things
natural, civil, or spiritual; when men attribute their justification and
salvation to their own works, it is arrogancy, and must be hateful to Christ;
who been at so much pains and expense to bring in everlasting righteousness, and
work out salvation for men: it is the height of arrogancy in a man to conceit he
a power to regenerate, renew, and convert himself, and, with the haughty
Arminian, Grevinchovius, to say, he has made himself to differ from others; this
must be hateful to Christ, by whose Spirit and grace this only is done: and it
is a piece of arrogancy when men ascribe all the good works done by them to
their own power, when without Christ they can do nothing; which therefore must
be displeasing to him. "The evil way", as Aben Ezra observes, is an evil custom
and course of sinning; a man's own way, which he chooses and delights in, and
which leads to destruction: "and the froward mouth" is the mouth that speaks
perverse things; things contrary to a man's own heart, contrary to truth, to the
rule of the divine word, to the Gospel, to Christ and his people, and to all
men; which must be hateful and abominable to him who is truth itself.

with her.
