SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:25
¶ El altivo de ánimo suscita contiendas; mas el que en el SEÑOR confía, medrará.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 28:25
Verse 25. Shall be made fat. ] Shall be prosperous.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife , etc.] Or, of a “large heart” f798 , or has an enlarged one; not with useful knowledge and understanding, as Solomon had; nor a heart enlarged with love and affection to the souls of men, as the Apostle Paul had; but either has a covetous one, who enlarges its desire as hell, and is never satisfied with what he has, and so is continually contending with his neighbours, engaging in lawsuits for their property, or unwilling to pay his lawful debts; or of a proud spirit, and despises all around him, and cannot bear opposition and contradiction; and is of a wrathful and revengeful spirit, and always at variance with his neighbours and quarrelling with them; (see Proverbs 18:15); but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat ; that trusts in the Lord, both for things temporal and spiritual; does not covet his neighbour’s goods, nor disturbs his peace, nor injures his person or property to increase his own, but depends upon the Lord for a supply of necessary good things; such an one shall be fat and flourishing, both in his temporal and spiritual estate; all he does shall prosper; he shall want no good thing, ( Psalm 84:11,12 Jeremiah 17:7,8).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 25 - Those make themselves always easy, that live in continual dependenc upon God and his grace, and live by faith.
