Commentary on Proverbs 20:3

Theological / Devotional

An honour. Some feel that their honor must be defended by a quick resentment of any slur or slight, but this reveals a doubt as to the genuine nature of their position. One who is calmly confident of his position in relation to God and man will quietly ignore provocative remarks (see chs. 17:14; 19:11).
