21 To make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, That thou mayest carry back words of truth to them that send thee?

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 22:21

Commentary on Proverbs 22:17-21

(Read Proverbs 22:17-21)

To these words, to this knowledge, the ear must be bowed down, and the heart applied by faith and love. To live a life of delight in God and dependence on him, is the foundation of all practical religion. The way to know the certainty of the word of truth, is to make conscience of our duty.
