That observes the law of God; for, though he cannot perfectly keep it, yet he delights in it after the inward man; and with his spirit serves it, from a principle of love, in faith, and with a view to the glory of God, without mercenary and sinister ends. Such a man enjoys peace, and has a reward “in” though not “for” keeping the commands of it; so that it is his wisdom to observe it; and he may be truly called a wise man, De 4:6<\/span>; Or that observes the law or commandments of his parents, which they enjoin him; see Pr 6:20<\/span>; and particularly the law of God, which requires honour and obedience to be given to parents, and which turns to the account of children; it is well with them, and their days are prolonged on earth, and therefore they are wise that keep it, Eph 6:1<\/span>; and such a wise son makes a glad father, as the contrary brings shame to him, as in the next clause;<\/p>\n but he that is a companion of riotous [men] shameth his father<\/strong>: that keeps company with gluttons, and indulges his sensual appetite with them; that “feeds” d such persons and himself, as some render the word; that gives up himself to an epicurean life: he brings himself at last to disgrace and poverty, and so causes shame to his father; who will be charged with neglecting his education, and indulging him in such a luxurious way of living; see Pr 10:5<\/span>.<\/p>\n d “qui pascit”, V.

Religion is true wisdom, and it makes men wise in every relation. He that conscientiously keeps the law<\/I> is wise, and he will be particularly a wise son,<\/I> that is, will act discreetly towards his parents, for the law of God teaches him to do so. 2. Bad company is a great hindrance to religion. Those that are companions of riotous men,<\/I> that choose such for their companions and delight in their conversation, will certainly be drawn from keeping the law of God<\/I> and drawn to transgress it, Ps. cxix. 115<\/span>. 3. Wickedness is not only a reproach to the sinner himself, but to all that are akin to him. He that keeps rakish company, and spends his time and money with them, not only grieves his parents, but shames them; it turns to their disrepute, as if they had not done their duty to him. They are ashamed that a child of theirs should be scandalous and abusive to their neighbours.<\/P> <\/p>\n Wise Or Foolish Sons<\/strong><\/p>\n (Verse 7<\/strong>-See comment on Pro 23:19-21<\/span> and Pro 23:22-25<\/span>.)<\/p>\n 7<\/strong>. <\/strong> Keepeth the law <\/strong> Is moral in deportment and character.

The idea probably is, that of a spendthrift who associates with prodigals like himself, feasting them at his own and his father’s expense.<\/p>\n Shameth<\/strong>, etc. This may mean, wounds or injures, possibly by his shameful conduct.<\/p>\n Pro 28:7 Whoso keepeth the law [is] a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous [men] shameth his father.<\/p>\n Ver. 7. He that keepeth the law is a wise son.<\/strong> ] It is neither good nature, nor good nurture or breeding, that can prove a man to be truly wise, but obedience to God’s statutes. Deu 4:6 Aiphonsus, king of Spain, surnamed the Wise, was a rank fool and an arrant atheist; so are all the world’s wizards. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But he that is a companion to riotous men.<\/strong> ] Or, That feedeth gluttons, whose belly hath no bottom. <\/p>\n ‘Ingluvies et tempestas, barathrumque macelli.’<\/p>\n<\/p>\n They say the locust is all belly, which is joined to his mouth, and endeth at his tail: such are riotous belly gods. To feed such is to cast away all, and bring an indelible infamy upon the family.<\/p>\n wise = intelligent. Hebrew. binah. See note on Pro 1:2. <\/p>\n shameth. Compare Pro 29:15. <\/p>\n Pro 28:7<\/p>\n Pro 28:7<\/p>\n “Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son, But he that is a companion of gluttons shameth his father.”<\/p>\n “Again, the Law here is the Torah (the Pentateuch) and seems also to include the directions and commandments of one’s father. An obedient and prudent son brings joy and honor to his father (Pro 10:1; Pro 29:3). The son who herds with debauchers, and wastes his substance in riotous living brings shame and insults upon his father.<\/p>\n Deane recommended the Septuagint here: “A wise son keeps the law, but a son that keeps up debauchery dishonors his father.<\/p>\n Pro 28:7. This verse reflects that which is seen so often throughout the Bible; namely, that though all people live in the same world and are more or less exposed to the same things, some live right, and some dont. This is even true of ones offspring: a son may be a wise son, or he may be a companion of gluttons. This same contrast is seen in Pro 29:3 : Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; But he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance (like the Prodigal Son).<\/p>\n keepeth: Pro 2:1-6, Pro 3:1-35 <\/p>\n but: Pro 28:24, Pro 19:26, Pro 23:19-22, Pro 29:3, Pro 29:15, Luk 15:13, Luk 15:30, 1Pe 4:3, 1Pe 4:4 <\/p>\n is a companion of riotous men: or, feedeth gluttons <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Pro 23:20 – not Tit 1:6 – not 1Jo 2:5 – whoso<\/p>\n Whoso keepeth the law [is] a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous [men] shameth his father. 7. riotous ] Rather, gluttonous.
