Gill's Notes on the Bible
Only by pride cometh contention,.... Though it comes by other things, yet by this chiefly, and there are no contentions without it: or "truly", "verily", "certainly d, by pride", c. Unless the words may be better rendered, "an empty man through pride will give contention" e, or make it such as are empty of knowledge and wisdom; and such are generally the most proud, and are very apt to raise contentions, and foment divisions: contentions in families, in neighbourhoods, in towns, cities, and countries, and in churches, are generally owing to pride; what contentions and confusions has the pride of the pope of Rome brought into kingdoms and states, into councils, and into the church of God!
but with the well advised [is] wisdom: such who are humble and modest will seek counsel of God; will consult the sacred oracles, and ask advice of those who are superior to them in knowledge and understanding; and so will neither raise contentions themselves, nor join with those that make them, but do all they can to lay them; these show that true wisdom is with them.
d רק "certe", Vatablus; "vere", Pagninus, Montanus, Merecrus. e "Levis per superbiam dabit contentionam", Gejerus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Either:
(1) “By pride alone comes contention” - that is the one unfailing spring of quarrels; or
(2) “By pride comes contention only” - it, and it alone, is the fruit of pride.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 13:10. By pride cometh contention — Perhaps there is not a quarrel among individuals in private life, nor a war among nations, that does not proceed from pride and ambition. Neither man nor nation will be content to be less than another; and to acquire the wished-for superiority all is thrown into general confusion, both in public and private life. It was to destroy this spirit of pride, that Jesus was manifested in the extreme of humility and humiliation among men. The salvation of Christ is a deliverance from pride, and a being clothed with humility. As far as we are humble, so far we are saved.
