Matthew Henry, on Prov 20:7
Matthew Henry · 1662–1714
Prov 20:7 · Douay-Rheims
“The just that walketh in his simplicity, shall leave behind him blessed children.”
On this verse:
“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.”
