It does not rank high among the exercises of the human faculties, yet it is quite above the reach of all inferior creatures. Ornaments on the fallen, like many other innocent things, become the occasions of sin, but they are not in their own nature evil. To deck with external beauty that which is morally corrupt within is a cheat which men practise on themselves and others, but adornment of the person, modest in measure and adopted instinctively by an innate sense of propriety, is conducive to virtue and consistent with Scripture. Moral qualities are the true adornments of a human being. All the graces of the Spirit are lovely: but here the foremost of relative duties, a childs reverential regard for a parent, is recommended as an ornament of surpassing beauty. Love, obey, cherish, reverence your parents. This is in Gods sight of great price. These ornaments will not be out of date when time has run its course. The moral laws of God have avenging sanctions even in the powers of nature. Godliness is profitable unto all things. The first commandment is fruitful even in this life, and the second is like it–like it in its holy character, like it in its glad results. Honour thy father and thy mother, this is an ornament of solid gold. Unlike the watering of superficial accomplishments, the more rudely it is rubbed the more brightly it <\/strong>glows. (William Arnot, D<\/em>.D<\/em>.)<\/p>\n Verse 9<\/span>. An ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains<\/B><\/I>] That is, filial respect and obedience will be as ornamental to thee as crowns, diadems<\/I>, and golden chains and pearls are to others.<\/P> <\/P> Political dignity has been distinguished in many nations by a chain of gold about the neck<\/I>. Solomon seems here to intimate, if we follow the metaphor, that the surest way of coming to distinguished eminence, in civil matters, is to act according to the principles of true wisdom<\/I>, proceeding from the fear of God<\/I>.<\/P> <\/p>\n This will make thee amiable and honourable in the sight of God and of men; whereas the forsaking of those good counsels will make thee contemptible. <\/P> <\/p>\n 9.<\/B> On the figures of Pr1:9<\/span>, compare Gen 41:42<\/span>;Son 1:10<\/span>; Son 4:9<\/span>.<\/P><\/p>\n For they [shall be] an ornament of grace unto thy head<\/strong>,….

The allusions are unto, and the metaphors taken from, those things which are most pleasing and acceptable to children, as fine top knots and golden chains.<\/p>\n (9) Ornament of grace.<\/strong>Given by Wisdom.

Compare Pro 3:3<\/span>; Pro 6:21<\/span>; Pro 4:9<\/span>; Gen 41:42<\/span>; Dan 5:29<\/span>; Son 4:9<\/span>. Chains worn about the neck were an ornament common to both men and women. Thus Pharaoh is said to have put a chain of gold about Joseph’s neck, (Gen 41:42<\/span>,) and Belshazzar did the same to Daniel. Dan 5:29<\/span>. They are mentioned as part of the Midianitish spoil, Num 31:50<\/span>.
