Proverbs 22

1. A good name is more desirable than great wealth

Berean Study Bible

So that your trust
The phrase "your trust" in Hebrew is "מִבְטַחֲךָ" (mivtachakha), which denotes a sense of security and confidence. Trust in the biblical context is not merely an intellectual assent but a deep-seated reliance and assurance. In the ancient Near Eastern culture, trust was often placed in tangible things like fortified cities or strong armies. However, this verse redirects that trust towards the divine, emphasizing a personal and relational aspect of faith.

may be in the LORD
The term "LORD" here is the tetragrammaton "יהוה" (YHWH), the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal, self-existent nature. This name is deeply rooted in the history of Israel, representing God's faithfulness and unchanging character. Trusting in the LORD implies a commitment to His sovereignty and a recognition of His ultimate authority and providence. Historically, this trust was cultivated through the narratives of God's deliverance and provision for Israel, reinforcing the idea that He is a reliable refuge.

I instruct you today
The act of instruction, "אוֹדִיעֲךָ" (odiakha), suggests a deliberate and purposeful impartation of wisdom. In the wisdom literature of the Bible, instruction is not merely about knowledge transfer but about shaping character and guiding one's life according to divine principles. The immediacy of "today" underscores the urgency and relevance of the teaching, inviting the reader to apply these truths in the present moment. This reflects the biblical emphasis on living out one's faith actively and consistently.

yes, you
The phrase "yes, you" personalizes the message, making it direct and intimate. It serves as a reminder that the teachings of Proverbs are not abstract or distant but are meant for individual application. This personal address highlights the relational aspect of biblical wisdom, where God, through His Word, speaks directly to the heart of the believer. It calls for a personal response and commitment to the instruction given, reinforcing the idea that each person is accountable for their own spiritual journey.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(19) I have made known to thee this day, even to thee these counsels of the wise. The words, "this day," recall the warning of Hebrews 3:13, and the emphatic "to thee, even to thee," imply that the message of God, though it may be [general in its form, yet is addressed to each individual soul among His people (comp., "Ho, every one that thirsteth," Isaiah 55:1); each being well known, and an object of love on the part of his Redeemer.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 19. - That thy trust may be in the Lord. The Greek and Latin versions make this clause depend on the preceding verse. It is better to consider it as dependent on the second hemistich, the fact of instruction being placed after the statement of its object. All the instruction herein afforded is meant to teach that entire confidence in the Lord which, as soon as his will is known and understood, leads a man to do it at any cost or pains, leaving the result in God's hands. I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee. The repetition of the personal pronoun brings home the teaching to the disciple, and shows that it is addressed, not merely to the mass of men, but to each individual among them, who thus becomes responsible for the use which he makes of it (comp. Proverbs 23:15). The expression, "this day," further emphasizes the exhortation. The learner is not to remember vaguely that some time or other he received this instruction, but that on this particular day the warning was given. So in Hebrews 3:7, 13 we read, "As the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.... Exhort one another daily, so long as it is called Today, lest any of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin." Septuagint, "That thy hope may be in the Lord, and he may make thy way known unto thee." Cheyne ('Job and Solomon') quotes Biekell's correction of this verse, "That thy confidence may be in Jehovah, to make known unto thee thy ways;" but the alteration seems arbitrary and unnecessary.
