Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 2:1-5

Solomon Calls On His ‘Son’ To Receive His Words With A View To Attaining A True Knowledge Of God Which Will Cause Him To Reverence Him (Proverbs 2:1-5 ). The first voice that speaks to the young man is the voice of his mentor, which echoes the voice of God (Proverbs 2:6). He calls on him to apply his heart and mind to understanding the fear of YHWH and finding the knowledge of God. And this he will do by seeking earnestly after wisdom and understanding, partly as divulged by his mentor. This... read more

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 2:1

These words are spoken by Solomon, either, 1. In the name of wisdom, as before; or rather, 2. In his own name. Hide my commandments with thee; lay them up in thy mind and heart with care, as men do their choicest treasures. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Proverbs 2:1-5

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Proverbs 2:1-5HUMAN UNDERSTANDING AND DIVINE KNOWLEDGEI. Divine knowledge is within the reach of the human understanding. When a physician has created an appetite in his patient, he sees that he is provided with food that will satisfy his hunger. As God has given the eye, so He has given light to meet its needs. God has created man with a need, and with capabilities of knowing Him, and has therefore placed such knowledge within his reach. “The Word is nigh... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:1-5

Proverbs 2:1-5 This is only one passage out of many in which wisdom is connected with religion, in which it is asserted that a religious fear of God is the first step in true wisdom, and that he who would know God aright must love wisdom, and humbly and vigorously seek after her. I. Even taking the lowest view of things, that is only a selfish view, looking only to what is to be gained, making it only a matter of profit and loss, the religious man is the wise man. For it has been often argued,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 2:1-22

Proverbs 2:1-2 . Hide my commandments with thee, as a treasure is secured in the cabinet, or as the copy of the law was put within the ark in the holy place. The words of the law must be retained in the memory, as maxims of wisdom, and the sentiments concealed in the heart. Then they are ready on all occasions, as defences against temptation. This is to incline, to cleanse, and open the ear. Proverbs 2:4 . If thou seekest her, as the merchants in search of gold and silver cross the... read more
