10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
10 then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.
10 Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over.
10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
10 Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 3:10
Commentary on Proverbs 3:7-12
(Read Proverbs 3:7-12)
There is not a greater enemy to the fear of the Lord in the heart, than self-conceit of our own wisdom. The prudence and sobriety which religion teaches, tend not only to the health of the soul, but to the health of the body. Worldly wealth is but poor substance, yet, such as it is, we must honour God with it; and those that do good with what they have, shall have more to do more good with. Should the Lord visit us with trials and sickness, let us not forget that the exhortation speaks to us as to children, for our good. We must not faint under an affliction, be it ever so heavy and long, not be driven to despair, or use wrong means for relief. The father corrects the son whom he loves, because he loves him, and desires that he may be wise and good. Afflictions are so far from doing God's children any hurt, that, by the grace of God, they promote their holiness.
