箴言 2:22 RCUVSS

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 2:13-22

Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 2:22

REFLECTIONS. My soul! ponder well the striking contrast which this chapter hath drawn between the righteous and the wicked; between him that serveth God, and him that serveth Him not! How truly lovely is the soul that crieth after knowledge, that is, that is seeking for Jesus as for hidden treasure. Everything in him, and about him is ornamental. In private life, in public station, whenever engaged, however occupied, he adorneth the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. Small, and... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 2:10-22

10-22 If we are truly wise, we shall be careful to avoid all evil company and evil practices. When wisdom has dominion over us, then it not only fills the head, but enters into the heart, and will preserve, both against corruptions within and temptations without. The ways of sin are ways of darkness, uncomfortable and unsafe: what fools are those who leave the plain, pleasant, lightsome paths of uprightness, to walk in such ways! They take pleasure in sin; both in committing it, and in seeing... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 2:10-22

Wisdom Preserves from Folly v. 10. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, not as a transient guest, but for the purpose of making it a permanent residence, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul, affording the only genuine pleasure and satisfaction, v. 11. discretion shall preserve thee, that is, proper reflection, a careful consideration, will serve to keep the prudent from foolish steps, understanding shall keep thee, enabling one to judge rightly in any given situation, v. 12. to... read more

3. Exhibition of the blessed consequences of obedience and of striving after wisdomProverbs 2:1-221 My son, if thou receivest my wordsand keepest my commandments by thee,2 so that thou inclinest thine ear to wisdom,and turnest thine heart to understanding;3 yea, if thou callest after knowledge,to understanding liftest up thy voice;4 if thou seekest her as silver,and searchest for her as for hidden treasure;5 then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah,and find... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Proverbs 2:1-22

Wisdom Guards from Evil Proverbs 2:1-22 Several words are reiterated in this chapter, which will unlock its treasures. Understanding, Proverbs 2:2-3 ; Proverbs 2:5 ; Proverbs 2:9 ; Proverbs 2:11 . If wisdom is a moral quality, leading to intuitive knowledge, understanding may be taken to include something of a prophetic strain. Understanding gathers up and makes use of the results of observation and experience, whether of oneself or of others. Notice also the word walk, Proverbs 2:7 ;... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 2:1-22

From here and through chapter 8 we have a series of parental counsels. These all begin with the address, "My son," and deal with the value of wisdom, and make many practical applications. The first of these is one of a couplet which deals with wisdom generally, and it has to do with the method of the search for wisdom (verses Pro 2:1-8 ), and its value (verses Pro 2:9-22 ). First, as to the method of the search, there must be willingness and desire to know (verses Pro 2:1-2 ). To this must... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 2:1-22

Prologue To The Book (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18 ). It was common throughout the 3rd to the 1st millenniums BC for collections of wisdom saying to have a prologue preparing for the ‘sayings’ that would follow. Those sayings would then be introduced by a subheading. Proverbs thus follows the usual precedent in having such a prologue in Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18, followed by general sayings in Proverbs 10:1 ff headed by a subheading (Proverbs 10:1). It was also common for such a... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 2:21-22

The Contrast Between What Happens To The Upright, And What Happens To The Wicked (Proverbs 2:21-22 ). Each of the first three chapters of Proverbs, together with Proverbs 4:1-19, ends with a contrast between what happens to the upright, and what happens to those who are not. In Proverbs 1:32-33 the contrast is between the simple/naive and the fools, as against those who hear and respond to wisdom. Here the contrast is between the wicked and the treacherous as against those who are upright and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 2:1-22

Proverbs 2:1-Song of Solomon : . Third Discourse.— The wise man praises Wisdom, describing the blessings of obedience to her. The deeper religious element in wisdom appears, the fundamental conception of Hebrew prophecy, that the knowledge of God is the supreme good. Proverbs 2:1-1 Kings : . If the young man hearkens to wisdom, prizes it above all other gain, he will acquire the true knowledge of God. Yahweh alone gives wisdom, and He gives it only to the upright. Proverbs 2:5 .
