Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Proverbs 2:6

(6) For the Lord giveth wisdom.—As St. James (Proverbs 1:5) expresses it, He gives it to every man “liberally, and upbraideth not:” i.e., blames him not for asking it. read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:1-22

CHAPTER 3WISDOM AS THE GUIDE OF CONDUCT"To deliver thee from the way of the evil man…To deliver thee from the strange woman."- Proverbs 2:12-16WISDOM is concerned, as we have seen, with the whole universe of fact, with the whole range of thought; she surveys and orders all processes of nature. We might say of her,"She doth preserve the stars from wrong, And the most ancient heavens by her are fresh and strong."But while she is occupied in these high things, she is no less attentive to the... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:1-22

The nature of this book makes divisions of its chapters rather arbitrary, and ours may not always be the best, but it is hoped it may prove useful in some degree. The opening of chapter four suggests a new beginning, for which reason we conclude this lesson at the close of chapter three. It begins with an advertisement (Proverbs 1:1-6 ), in which mention is made of the author (Proverbs 1:1 ), the object of the book (Proverbs 1:2-3 ), and its great value (Proverbs 1:4-6 ). Then follows its... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Proverbs 2:1-22

The Promises of Wisdom Proverbs 2:0 This third discourse consists of an exhortation to follow after Wisdom. The position of seniority is still retained, the voice of the father predominates throughout the whole of the animated and noble counsel. The general tone of the exhortation is that of profound and painful experience. "My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee" ( Pro 2:1 ). The tone of entreaty of this verse is very remarkable. The father is by no means... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 2:6-8

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Is it not God our Father, that is here particularly spoken of? For who gave Christ to the church, but the Father? John 3:16 . Who was it called him in righteousness, or laid up salvation in him, and laid our iniquities upon him? Isaiah 42:6 . To whom is... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:7

Salvation. Protestants, "sound wisdom." Tushiya (Haydock) often occurs in this book, and is very comprehensive, (Calmet) denoting the substance (Haydock) of goodness, virtue, &c., Job v. 12. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 2:1-9

1-9 Those who earnestly seek heavenly wisdom, will never complain that they have lost their labour; and the freeness of the gift does not do away the necessity of our diligence, John 6:27. Let them seek, and they shall find it; let them ask, and it shall be given them. Observe who are thus favoured. They are the righteous, on whom the image of God is renewed, which consists in righteousness. If we depend upon God, and seek to him for wisdom, he will enable us to keep the paths of judgment. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 2:1-9

Advantages in Accepting Wisdom v. 1. My son, so Wisdom, as the proper teacher of all men cries out, if thou wilt receive my words and hide my commandments with thee, laying them up in store, guarding them as a precious treasure, v. 2. so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, yielding a ready obedience, and apply thine heart to understanding, ready to accept it, to make use of the right discrimination in every situation in life; v. 3. yea, if thou criest after knowledge, calling and... read more
