Not their bodies; words are but wind, and will not feed; it is not enough to say to the distressed, “be ye warmed and filled”, and give nothing; unless this can be understood of obtaining food for others by their prayers, as Jarchi interprets it: but the souls of many; these the righteous feed, by communicating the spiritual knowledge and understanding of divine things they are partakers of; by setting before them the bread of life, the honey and milk of the Gospel, they have under their tongue; and by the good counsel and advice, comforts and admonitions, they give them; see Jer 3:15<\/span>;<\/p>\n but fools die for want of wisdom<\/strong>: not a corporeal death, which is common to men of every rank and quality; wise men die even as fools; but they continue under the power of a spiritual death, for want of enlightening and quickening grace, and so die an eternal death: not for want of natural wisdom, which they may have a greater share of than those who live spiritually and eternally; but for want of spiritual wisdom and knowledge; the knowledge of Christ, and the way of life and salvation by him, and the knowledge of God in Christ; and not always for the want of the means of such wisdom and knowledge; as the Scriptures, which are able to make a man wise unto salvation; and the Gospel, which is the wisdom of God in a mystery; but through the neglect and contempt of them: though sometimes men perish through want of the means of knowledge, and the neglect of those who should instruct them, Ho 4:6<\/span>.<\/p>\n 21 The lips of the righteous edify many;<\/p>\n But fools die through want of understanding.<\/p>\n The lxx translate 21a: the lips of the righteous , which would at least require . is, like the post-bibl. pir|neec ( vid<\/em>., the Hebr.

In 21b, Bertheau incorrectly explains, as Euchel and Michaelis: stulti complures per dementem unum moriuntur <\/em>; the food has truly enough in his own folly, and needs not to be first drawn by others into destruction. is not here the connective form of (Jewish interpreters: for that reason, that he is such an one), nor of (Hitzig, Zckler), which denotes, as a concluded idea, penuria <\/em>, but like , Pro 21:4<\/span>, , Pro 6:10<\/span>, and , Pro 16:19<\/span>, infin.: they die by want of understanding (cf.

To this end hath he communicated to him those “rivers of water,” Joh 7:38 that they may flow from him, to quench that world of wickedness that, being “set on fire of hell, would set on fire the whole course of nature.” Jam 3:6 They are “empty vines that bear fruit to themselves.” Hos 10:1 Those are void houses, we say, where the doors daily open not. The people hung upon – – our Saviour’s lips as the young bird doth on the dam’s bill. Luk 19:48 Bishop Ridley preached every Lord’s day and holiday, except letted by some weighty business, to whose sermons the people resorted, saith Master Foxe, a<\/em> swarming about him like bees, and coveting the sweet juice of his gracious discourses. Look how Joseph nourished his father’s household with bread, “according to their families,” or “according to the mouths of their families” b<\/em> Gen 47:12 So doth the righteous man those of his own charge especially. Welfare Popery for that, saith a grave divine. c<\/em> I have heard old folks talk, that when in those days they had holy bread, as they called it, given them at church, they would bear a part of it to those that did abide at home. So should heads of families carry home the bread of life to their households. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But fools die for want of wisdom.<\/strong> ] By their either refusing or abusing the food of their souls As the Pharisees, they “pine away in their iniquities.” Lev 26:39 <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Acts and Mon., <\/em> fol. 1559. <\/p>\n b<\/em> Chepi tappam. <\/p>\n c<\/em> Mr Sam.

In this verse feed is set over against die. The lips of the wise disperse knowledge (Pro 15:7). Jesus fed multitudes with His teachings. Teachers of Gods Word feed the flock of God (Act 20:28). Paul fed many people in many places. We too can edify (build people up) with our lips (Eph 4:29). People need this knowledge, for they will die for lacking it or for disregarding it (Hos 4:6).
