Spreuken 16:7 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 16:7

When a man's ways please the Lord
As they do when a man walks according to the rule of his word; when he walks as he has Christ for an example; when he walks after the Spirit, and not after the flesh; when he walks by faith, and does all he does in faith; without which it is impossible to please God, ( Hebrews 11:6 ) ; and when all his ways and actions are directed to the glory of God; he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him;
as Abimelech with Isaac, Esau with Jacob; and the enemies of the church and people of God with then, in the latter day, ( Revelation 3:9 ) .

6 Door goedertierenheid en trouw wordt de misdaad verzoend; en door de vreze des HEEREN wijkt men af van het kwade.
7 Als iemands wegen den HEERE behagen, zo zal Hij ook zijn vijanden met hem bevredigen.
8 Beter is een weinig met gerechtigheid, dan de veelheid der inkomsten zonder recht.
