Commentary on Proverbs 3:11

Theological / Devotional

Chastening. Heb. musar (see on ch. 1:2). From the idea of prosperity, Solomon turns to that of adversity. Adversity is often used by God as a means of awakening a man to danger.

Be weary. Heb. ma’as, primarily “to reject,” “to retract from,” hence “to feel a loathing,” “to feel an abhorrence,” “to feel a sickening dread.” Some people permit the troubles that come upon them to drive them farther away from God, because they think that He is cruel or indifferent. How far from the truth this is, the next verse shows.
