잠언 2:9-10 KRV

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 2:9-12

Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; How beautiful, if explained upon gospel terms, and with an eye to Christ, as wisdom, are these verses! If Christ be indeed formed in the heart, the hope of glory, then will all... 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

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

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

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

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
