Proverbs 20:7

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

It is here observed to the honour of a good man, 1. That he does well

for himself. He has a certain rule, which with an even steady hand he

governs himself by: He walks in his integrity; he keeps good

conscience, and he has the comfort of it, for it is his rejoicing. He

is not liable to those uneasinesses, either in contriving what he shall

do or reflecting on what he has done, which those are liable to that

walk in deceit. 2. That he does well for his family: His children are

blessed after him, and fare the better for his sake. God has mercy in

store for the seed of the faithful.
