Commentary on Proverbs 3:35

Theological / Devotional

Shall inherit glory. The parallelism suggests that the lowly of v. 34 are the wise, and the scorners are the fools. This is in harmony with Solomon’s whole argument concerning the value of true wisdom. The humble servant of God has been reborn into the family of heaven and inherits glory by the right of sonship. The appearance of exaltation that the proud, willful sinner sometimes gains is but a prelude to the shame that he will feel when the plan of salvation and the history of each sinner are opened before the assembled universe for inspection (Prov. 16:18; 2 Cor. 5:10; GC 666).
