SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:31

El caballo se apareja para el día de la batalla; mas del SEÑOR es el salvar.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 21:31

Verse 31. The horse is prepared against the day of
battle ] Horses were not used among the Jews before the time of Solomon. There was a Divine command against them, Deut. xvii. 16; but Solomon transgressed it; see 1 Kings x. 29. But he here allows that a horse is a vain thing for safety; and that however strong and well appointed cavalry may be, still safety, escape, and victory, are of the Lord. Among the ancient Asiatics, the horse was used only for war; oxen laboured in the plough and cart, the ass and the camel carried backloads; and mules and asses served for riding.

We often give the credit of a victory to man, when they who consider the circumstances see that it came from God.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 31. The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle , etc.] The horse is a warlike creature, and was much used formerly, as now, in war; these are prepared against the day of battle, to mount the cavalry with; and men are apt to put too great confidence in them: this is mentioned instead of all other military preparations and instruments of war; but safety [is] of the Lord ; a horse is a vain thing for safety, ( Psalm 33:17); victory is only of the Lord; salvation depends upon him; it is he that covers men’s heads in the day of battle, and gives them victory over their enemies: or “salvation [is] of the Lord” f593 ; this is true of spiritual and eternal salvation, as well as of temporal salvation; it is of the Lord, Father, Son and Spirit; and so is the safety of the saints; and their final perseverance to eternal glory, which is owing to the love of God, covenant interest, security in Christ, the grace of the Spirit, and the power of God; (see Hosea 14:3).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 30, 31 - Means are to be used, but, after all, our safety and
salvation are onl of the Lord. In our spiritual warfare we must arm ourselves with the whole armour of God; but our strength must be in the Lord, and in the power of his might __________________________________________________________________
