SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:9
¶ El ojo misericordioso será bendito, porque dio de su pan al menesteroso.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 22:9
Verse 9. A bountiful eye ] One that disposes him to help all that he sees to be in want; the bountiful eye means the bountiful heart; for the heart looks through the eye. The merciful heart, even when the hand has little or nothing to give, shall be blessed of the Lord.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed , etc.] Or “a good eye” f602 ; who looks about him for proper objects to do good unto; looks pleasantly on them, and deals out cheerfully and bountifully to them; he shall be blessed with an increase of temporal good things, with spiritual blessings, and with eternal glory and happiness; when he does what he does from principles of grace, with a view to the glory of God, not depending on what he does, but upon the grace of God, and the righteousness of Christ; for he giveth of his bread to the poor ; what is his own and a part of it; not all, for he reserves some as he ought for himself and his; but he does not eat his morsel alone, he gives of it to the necessitous; his beneficent hand is a proof of his bountiful eye and liberal heart.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9 - He that seeks to relieve the wants and miseries of others shall be blessed.
