auto_stories Bible Guided Commentary

Here we see something to the honor of a good man. He does well for himself. He has a clear rule for life, and he follows it with steady judgment. He walks in integrity, meaning he lives honestly and keeps a good conscience. That gives him comfort, and he can rejoice in it.

Such a person is not troubled by the inner unrest that comes to those who live by deceit. He does not have to keep planning what to do next in wrong ways, or look back with shame at what he has done. A life of honesty brings peace to the heart.

A good man also does well for his family. His children are blessed after him and benefit from his upright life. God keeps mercy ready for the children of the faithful.
