SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:2
¶ Cuando vino la soberbia, vino también la deshonra; mas con los humildes es la sabiduría.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 11:2
Verse 2. When pride cometh ] The proud man thinks much more of himself than any other can do; and, expecting to be treated according to his own supposed worth, which treatment he seldom meets with, he is repeatedly mortified, ashamed, confounded, and rendered indignant. With the lowly ] µy[wnx tsenuim, tapeinwn, the humble, the modest, as opposed to the proud, referred to in the first clause. The humble man looks for nothing but justice; has the meanest opinion of himself; expects nothing in the way of commendation or praise; and can never be disappointed but in receiving praise, which he neither expects nor desires.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. [When] pride cometh, then cometh shame , etc.] The one follows the other, or rather keep pace together; as soon as one comes, the other comes; as in the case of the angels that sinned, Adam and Eve, Haman, Nebuchadnezzar, and others; and will be the case of the Romish antichrist, who, while vaunting and priding himself in his glory and grandeur, will fall into shame, disgrace, and destruction, ( Revelation 18:7,8); but with the lowly [is] wisdom ; or wisdom shall come, as Jarchi: the consequence of which is honour and glory; as with Christ, who is meek and lowly, are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge; so with his humble followers, who reckon themselves the least of saints, and chief of sinners, and own that it is by the grace of God they are what they are, is true wisdom; they are wise unto salvation, and in the way to honour and glory; such humble souls shall be exalted, ( Luke 14:11).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 2 - Considering how safe, and quiet, and easy the humble are, we see tha with the lowly is wisdom.
