Proverbs 22:4

Proverbs 22:4

Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible · Matthew Henry (1662–1714) · Public Domain

See here, 1. Wherein religion does very much consist--in humility and

the fear of the Lord; that is, walking humbly with God. We must so

reverence God's majesty and authority as to submit with all humility to

the commands of his word and the disposals of his providence. We must

have such low thoughts of ourselves as to behave humbly towards God and

man. Where the fear of God is there will be humility. 2. What is to be

gotten by it--riches, and honour, and comfort, and long life, in this

world, as far as God sees good, at least spiritual riches and honour in

the favour of God, and the promises and privileges of the covenant of

grace, and eternal life at last.
