Provérbios 30:6 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 30:6

Add thou not unto his words
To the words of God; as the Jews did, by joining their oral law, or the traditions of the elders, to the written word, and preferring them before it; and as the Papists, by making their unwritten traditions, and the sense and determinations of their church, equal to the Scriptures; and as all enthusiasts do, who set up their pretended dreams, visions, revelations, and prophecies, upon a foot with the word of God, or as superior to it; whereas that is, and that only, the rule and standard of faith and practice, and is a sufficient and perfect one; see ( Deuteronomy 4:2 ) ; lest he reprove thee;
that is, God; either by words or by blows, by threatenings and denunciations of his wrath and displeasure; or by chastisements and corrections for such daring pride, blasphemy, and wickedness; those who add to his words, he threatens to add plagues unto them, ( Revelation 22:18 ) ; and thou be found a liar;
a forger, speaker, and spreader of doctrinal lies, such doctrines as are contrary to the word of truth; not being built on that, but upon human inventions, and additions to it.

Provérbios 30:6 In-Context

4 Quem subiu ao céu e desceu? quem encerrou os ventos nos seus punhos? mas amarrou as águas no seu manto? quem estabeleceu todas as extremidades da terra? qual é o seu nome, e qual é o nome de seu filho? Certamente o sabes!
5 Toda palavra de Deus é pura; ele é um escudo para os que nele confiam.
6 Nada acrescentes �s suas palavras, para que ele não te repreenda e tu sejas achado mentiroso.
7 Duas coisas te peço; não mas negues, antes que morra:
8 Alonga de mim a falsidade e a mentira; não me dês nem a pobreza nem a riqueza: dá-me só o pão que me é necessário;
