Proverbs 19:1 Better [is] the poor that walketh in his integrity, than [he that is] perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
A poor man who fears God, is more honorable and happy, than a man without wisdom and grace, however rich or advanced in rank.

Grace is not bestowed according to human merits; otherwise grace would be no longer grace. For grace is so designated because it is given gratuitously.

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
“Richness” of knowledge and wisdom “brings us many angels,” but an impure person is even separated from the angel given to him at birth. Spiritual friendship is virtue and knowledge of God, through which we bind ourselves to friendship with the holy powers. Thus it is said that human beings who repent give cause for joy to the angels. Thus also the Savior calls his servants “friends,” since they are ready to receive greater wisdom. So also Abraham, rich in knowledge, offered that mystical table to the friends who appeared to him in the middle of the day. .

Proverbs 19:5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that] speaketh lies shall not escape.
Those that tell lies in discourse, are in a fair way to be guilty of bearing false-witness.

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
There are true martyrs and false ones, because there are true and false witnesses. But Scripture says, “The false witness shall not go unpunished.” If the false witness will not escape punishment, neither will the true witness be denied a crown. And it was, indeed, easy to bear witness to the Lord Jesus Christ and the truth, because he is God; but to do so to the death, that was a great work.

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
When a certain wise man says, “It is by the Lord that a man is matched with a woman,” he means this: God made marriage, and not that it is God that joins together every man that comes to be married with a woman. For we see many that come to be with one another for evil, even by the law of marriage, and this we should not ascribe to God. .
Who are the two or three who gather in the name of Christ with the Lord in their midst? By three does he not mean husband, wife and child? “A wife is united with her husband by God.” But if a man wishes to be unencumbered and prefers to avoid producing children because of the time it takes up, then, says the apostle, “he had better stay unmarried like me.” … God through his Son is with those who responsibly marry and produce children, and it is the same God who in the same way is with the man who shows selfcontrol in the light of the Logos. ..

Proverbs 19:16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; [but] he that despiseth his ways shall die.
If we keep God’s word, God’s word will keep us from every thing really hurtful. We abuse the doctrine of free grace, if we think that it does away the necessity and advantage of obedience. Those that live at random must die. This truth is clearly taught in words enough to alarm the stoutest sinner.

Proverbs 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
Let us lend to God almsgiving so we may receive from him clemency in exchange. Oh, how wise is this statement! “Whoever has mercy upon the poor lends to God.” Why did he not say, “Whoever has mercy upon the poor gives to God” instead of “lends”? Scripture recognizes our greediness; it understood that our insatiate desire, which looks longingly toward greediness, asks for an excess. This is why it did not say simply, “Whoever has mercy upon the poor gives to God,” so you may not think that the recompense will be customary; rather, it said, “Whoever has mercy upon the poor lends to God.” Since God borrows from us, then, he is our debtor. How do we want to have him, as judge or debtor? The debtor is ashamed before his lender; the judge does not put to shame the one who borrows. .
The lesson, therefore, which he teaches us is love for the poor, which is precious in the sight of God. Do you feel pleasure in being praised when you have any friends or relatives feasting with you? I tell you of something far better: angels shall praise your bounty, and the rational powers above, and holy men as well; and he too shall accept it who transcends all, and who loves mercy and is kind. Lend to him fearing nothing, and you will receive with interest whatever you gave, for “he,” it says, “who has pity on the poor lends unto God.” Commentary on Luke, Homily
If you help a poor person in the Name of the Lord, you are making a gift and at the same time granting a loan. You are making a gift because you have no expectation of being reimbursed by that poor person. You are granting a loan because the Lord will settle the account.
It is not much that the Lord receives by means of the poor, but He will pay a great deal on their behalf.
