The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 8:10

Receive my instruction, and not silver ; i.e. acquire wisdom rather than silver, if ever the choice is yours. And knowledge rather than choice gold (comp. Proverbs 8:19 ; Proverbs 3:1-35 :140. (For "knowledge," daath, see on Proverbs 2:10 .) The comparison is implied rather than expressed in the first clause, while it is made clear in the second. Thus Hosea 6:6 , "I desired mercy, and not sacrifice," the second matter mentioned being, not necessarily of no importance, but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 8:10-11

Wisdom and wealth The immeasurable preference of heavenly wisdom to earthly wealth may be seen if we consider— I. THE FAILURE OF WEALTH . Wealth is continually found to fail; for: 1 . It cannot even buy happiness. It may purchase a certain amount of excitement and jollity, but it will not secure contentment, even for one brief year. 2 . Much less can it buy blessedness. That happy state of which our Lord so often spoke as blessedness—the deep and true gladness of heart... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 8:10-21

Wisdom's pleadings She has nothing novel to say concerning her nature, value, and blessings. Preaching must in the main be repetition; the iteration of the old, not with dry and sterile monotony, but with that freshness which comparison with everyday facts and illustrations gives. New combinations of facts are ever arising in which to frame the old precepts and set them forth. Besides, love gives novelty to old truth, as the old song is enjoyed from the lips of the latest sweet singer. ... read more

Proverbs 8:2-6 . She standeth in the top of high places Where she may be best seen and heard; not in corners, and in the dark, as the harlot did; by the way in the places of the paths Where many paths meet, where there is a great concourse, and where travellers may need direction. She crieth at the gates The places of judgment, and of the confluence of the people; at the entry of the city To invite passengers at their first coming, and to conduct them to her house; at the coming in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 8:7-10

Proverbs 8:7-10. For my mouth shall speak truth Hebrew, יהגה , shall meditate, that is, shall speak, not rashly and hastily, but what I have well considered and digested. Wickedness is an abomination, &c. I hate to speak it; therefore you may be assured I shall not deceive you. All the words of my mouth All my precepts, promises, threatenings; are in righteousness Are perfectly just and holy, and conformable to the rules of everlasting righteousness. There is nothing froward or... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Proverbs 8:1-36

Eternal wisdom available to all (8:1-36)Once again wisdom is personified as a woman standing in a public place and speaking to the people who pass by (8:1-3; cf. 1:20-21). Even the immature and foolish can learn wisdom (4-5). One characteristic of wisdom is speech that is wholesome, true and straightforward (6-9). The instruction given by wisdom is beyond value, for it produces all those qualities most necessary for a truly worthwhile life. Yet it will not lead to pride, for people can only... read more
