Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Proverbs 1:13

We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

The second form of temptation (see Pro 1:10 note) appeals to the main attraction of the robber-life, its wild communism, the sense of equal hazards and equal hopes.

As our danger is little, so our profit will be great.

We shall find all precious substance,…. Among one or another we meet with; gold and silver and precious stones, everything that is valuable; not considering that hereby they were in danger of losing the more precious substance, their immortal souls; and the most precious substance of all, the enjoyment of God, and happiness with him to all eternity, which is the “more enduring substance”: the things of this world, properly speaking, are not substance, though wicked men so judge them; they are things that are not; nor are they “precious”, in comparison of spiritual and heavenly things; but they are what carnal men set a high price and value upon, and risk the loss of their name, lives, and souls for;

we shall fill our houses with spoil; Aben Ezra interprets this of garments; but it may not only design the garments taken from the persons robbed and killed; but also their money, commodities, and goods they were travelling with, which in time would be so large as to fill everyone of their houses; covetousness lies at the bottom of all this wickedness; the love of money is the root of all evil.

13. Precious substance Splendid wealth.

Pro 1:13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

Ver. 13. We shall find all precious substance. ] But those that rake together, rem, rem, quocunque modo rem, that count all good fish that comes to net, will in the end catch the devil and all.

Fill our houses with spoil ] Not considering that they “consult shame to their houses by cutting off many people, and sinning against their own souls.” Hab 2:10 He that brings home a pack of cloths infected with plague, hath no such great booty of it.
