Commentary on Proverbs 15:25

Theological / Devotional

Border. On the sanctity of landmarks see ch. 22:28.

Of the widow. The Lord has a special care for the widow and the orphan. Although these unfortunates may seem to suffer in this life and often to fall victim to greedy men, yet the Lord will cause all these things to work out to their good if they put their full trust in Him. The miracle of the multiplying oil is typical of what God can and will do, though usually in less spectacular ways, to help such bereaved ones (see Ps. 68:5; Jer. 49:11).
