Poole says the wise expresses "what he knows prudently and gracefully; taking due care both what, and when, and to whom, and in what manner he speaks." John
Provérbios 15
Poole on spouts - plentifully, continually, promiscuously, and vehemently. Prov 13:16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge, But a fool displays folly. Prov 15:28 The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, But the mouth of the wicked pours out (same word as Pr 15:2 - naba) evil things. — Spouts (05042)(naba) means to to flow, spring, bubble up, spew out, to pour out, to utter, to emit. It refers to something pouring forth, bubbling out. The picture of a fools speech is that of a bubbling brook. Unlike the discretion of the wise, the fool simply opens his mouth and out flows whatever comes to his lips, which is usually folly! In Pr 15:28 "the mouth of the wicked pours out (naba) evil things." Used in a positive sense we read that God "will pour out (his) spirit" (Pr 1:23) and that "The fountain of wisdom is a bubbling (naba) brook (Lxx has "a spring of life")." (Pr 18:4) Lxx translates naba in Pr 15:2 with anaggello/anangello which means to bring back word and later to announce, to report. TWOT says naba "connotes an uncontrollable or uncontrolled gushing forth as, e.g. the swollen waters of a wadi (Pr 18:4: cf. nāhal), the rush of words from a fool’s mouth (Pr 15:2; antonym, hāgâ [ponders], Pr 15:28). NAS Usage: belch forth(1), bubbling(1), eagerly utter(1), pour(1), pour forth(1), pours(1), pours forth(1), spouts(1), utter(2). — Naba - 10v - Ps 19:2; 59:7; 78:2; 94:4; 119:171; 145:7; Prov 1:23; 15:2, 28; 18:4 Ps 19:2 Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. — Ps 59:7 Behold, they (treacherous nations - Ps 59:5) belch forth with their mouth; Swords are in their lips, For, [they say,] “Who hears?” — Ps 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, — Ps 94:4 They pour forth [words], they speak arrogantly; All who do wickedness vaunt themselves. — Ps 119:171 Let my lips utter praise, For Thou dost teach me Thy statutes. — Ps 145:7 They shall eagerly utter the memory of Thine abundant goodness, And shall shout joyfully of Thy righteousness. Swanson - 1. (qal) gush, bubble forth, i.e., to have a mass of liquid or air move freely and profusely (Pr 18:4; Ecc 10:1); 2. (hif) utter, pour out, spew, i.e., speak profusely uttering words or statements, as an extension of a prolific effusion or free movement of a mass (Ps 19:2; 59:7; 78:2; 94:4; 119:171; 145:7; Pr 1:23; 15:2, 28) Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, watching the evil and the good. Ge 16:13 Dt 11:12 Dt 21:9 2Ch 6:20 Ps 33:18 34:15, Ps 113:6, Ps 139:2,3, Job 34:21,31:4, Pr 5:21 Pr 15:3 Jer 16:17, Jer 23:24, Jer 32:19 Zec 4:10 Heb 4:13 1Pe 3:12 Ge 6:8 Proverbs 15 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries THE EYES OF JEHOVAH This proverb is Good News for those who do good, but Bad News for those who do bad! Note that in the sentence the phrase in every place stands at the forefront of the sentence and so reads "In every place, the eyes of Yahweh" which places emphasis on His omniscience. Eyes of the LORD - This phrase is found 11x in Scripture - Ge 6:8; Deut 11:12; 21:9; 2Chr 16:9; Ps 34:15; Prov 5:21; 15:3; 22:12; Amos 9:8; Zech 4:10; 1Pet 3:12 Gen 6:8 But Noah found favor (grace) in the eyes of the LORD. — 2Chr 16:9 “For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars.” Beloved this is a promise all saints need to lay hold of in these dark last days in which we live. — Ps 34:15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, And His ears are [open] to their cry.
Provérbios 15
Poole - though he may obtain great revenues, yet they are attended with much trouble and vexation; either because they are strangely blasted and taken from them, or because they are imbittered to them by their own insatiable desires, or tormenting cares and fears, or the horrors of their guilty consciences, or by divers other ways. Wicked (07563)(rasha') is an adjective meaning unrighteous, unjust, an evil person, wrong wicked, guilty (legally not innocent of a violation of the law - Ex 23:1, Ps 109:7), in the wrong, criminal, transgressor. Rasha' often describes unbelievers, who hate God and are habitually hostile toward Him. The wicked/ungodly conduct their lives as if God does not exist and with no regard for Him. Rasha' describes someone as evil with a focus on their being guilty or in the wrong (2Sa 4:11). Rasha' is the opposite of righteous (saddiq). Lawson - “But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.” When good men have nothing, they possess all things; when bad men have much, they are in straits, for their craving desires are still larger than their possessions, and whatever they have, they want satisfaction, and are still crying, "Give, give." They have, besides, a bad conscience, and a drop of that bitter ingredient is sufficient to swallow up an ocean of earthly delights. Do we wish to be rich? let us learn from the Bible what it is to be rich, that we may not spend our time and labour in the pursuit of feathers and vanities. A wealthy American businessman was once asked what it would take for him to be content, to which he quipped "Just one dollar more!" Money can never satisfy our soul's deepest needs. Only Jesus satisfies that need. Jesus said ""Everyone who drinks of this water shall thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." (Jn 4:13-14-note). Preacher's Homiletical Commentary - The wicked man is troubled by a sense of being out of harmony with all that is holy, and just, and true in the universe of God, and with a foreboding of future retribution. The wealth of the spirit is so much more than material wealth as the spirit is so much more than the body. It is wealth to have "a conscience purged from, dead works to serve the living God" (Heb 9:14), and to "lay up treasure" without being thus "rich toward God" (Luk 12:21) is only to "spend money for that which is not bread, and labour for that which satisfieth not." (See on chap. Pro 3:14-15; Pro 8:11-19, etc.) John

Poole - Piety with little is better than wealth with trouble. Ps 39:6; Matthew 6:33. E W Bullinger gives these illustrations - . Illustrations: the shepherds (Luke 2:20. Compare Matthew 2:3); Paul in prison (Philippians 1:4, Philippians 1:11, Philippians 1:13, Philippians 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:6). Contrast Ahab in palace (1 Kings 21:4). Jehovah is a substitute for every good thing, but nothing is a substitute for Him. Notice that thankfully Solomon does not stop with "better is little." Little is not necessarily better! But it is if it is mixed with the qualifier of a heart attitude of "fear of Jehovah." Who are those who fear the LORD? If we examine a parallel passage in Ps 37:16 (see below), we see that they are the righteous. And who are the righteous in the Old Testament? In a word, they are genuine believers. Were they righteous because they sacrificed, etc? Ge 15:6 says that Abraham Paul writes that Abraham had the Gospel preached to him (Gal 3:8, Ge 12:3) and Moses records that Abraham "believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness." (Ge 15:6, see NT uses of this passage in Ro 4:3-6-note, James 2:23-note). Compare the description of Abraham in Heb 11:8-note which teaches that genuine belief is coupled with heart obedience, obedience motivated not by legalism but by love of God! Abraham's obedience did NOT save him, but did demonstrate His faith was saving faith. Habakkuk writes that "the righteous will live by his faith." (Hab 2:4-note, which Paul quoted in part in Ro 1:16-17-note) David agrees writing "Better (same word as Pr 15:16 - Heb = tob; Lxx = kreitton/kreisson) is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many wicked." (Ps 37:16)
