箴言 8:2-4 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 8:1-11

The will of God revealed to us for our salvation is here largely represented to us as easy to be known and understood, that none may have an excuse for their ignorance or error, and as worthy to be embraced, that none may have an excuse for their carelessness and unbelief. I. The things revealed are easy to be known, for they belong to us and to our children (Deut. 29:29), and we need not soar up to heaven, or dive into the depths, to get the knowledge of them (Deut. 30:11), for they are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 8:2

She standeth in the top of high places ,.... To be both seen and heard, for which reason Christ went up into a mountain and preached, Matthew 5:1 ; by the way ; the roadside, to instruct and direct passengers as they go along, to show them the right way, and caution them against taking wrong ways; so did Christ, Matthew 16:6 ; in the places of the paths ; or, "between the paths" F19 בית נתיבת "in mediis semitis", V. L. "inter semitas", Tigurine version, Baynus; so some in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 8:3

She crieth at the gates ,.... Of the temple, or of the city, where the courts of judicature were, and persons met on civil accounts; and where people were continually passing and repassing; at the entry of the city ; meeting those that came out of the country to the city upon trade and business; at the coming in at the doors ; of the temple, or city, or private houses; all these expressions denote the publicness of the Gospel ministry, both by Christ himself, who spake openly to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 8:4

Unto you, O men, I call ,.... Not angels, the fallen angels; for, as they had nothing to do with Christ, he had nothing to do with them, or say unto them, Matthew 8:29 ; nor the brutes, irrational creatures; for, though the Gospel is to be preached to every creature, yet only to rational ones, Mark 16:15 , "men", whom God has loved and Christ has redeemed; these are by the Gospel called, and called effectually. There are some men indeed who are only externally called; but there are... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 8:2

In the places of the paths - נצבה נתיבת בית beith nethiboth nitstsabah , "The constituted house of the paths." Does not this mean the house of public worship? the tabernacle or temple, which stands a center to the surrounding villages, the paths from all the parts leading to and terminating at it? In such a place, where the holy word of God is read or preached, there in a particular manner does wisdom cry, and understanding lift up her voice. There are the warnings, the precepts, and the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 8:3

She crieth at the gates - This might be well applied to the preaching of Jesus Christ and his apostles, and their faithful successors in the Christian ministry. He went to the temple, and proclaimed the righteousness of the Most High: he did the same in the synagogues, on the mountains, by the sea-side, in the villages, in the streets of the cities, and in private houses. His disciples followed his track: in the same way, and in the same spirit, they proclaimed the unsearchable riches of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 8:4

Unto you, O men - אישים ishim , men of wealth and power, will I call; and not to you alone, for my voice is אדם בני אל al beney Adam , "to all the descendants of Adam;" to the whole human race. As Jesus Christ tasted death for every man, so the Gospel proclaims salvation to all: to You - to every individual, my voice is addressed. Thou hast sinned; and thou must perish, if not saved by grace. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 8:1-9

Wisdom's proclamation Again it is a poetical personification of truth, of God's Word, of religion, morality, sense, prudence; for all these are included in the comprehensive conception of wisdom that is placed before us. I. THE PROCLAMATION OF TRUTH HAS NEVER FAILED IN THE WORLD . The cry is coeval with the world, with the conscience of man. The preacher has an institution second to none in antiquity and in honour. II. THE PREACHER MUST RE CONSPICUOUS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 8:1-21

The excellency of Divine wisdom: No. 1 In these verses we have portrayed to us the surpassing excellency of the wisdom of God. I. IT IS AUDIBLE TO EVERY ONE . "Doth not Wisdom cry," etc.? ( Proverbs 8:1 ; see homily on Proverbs 1:20-23 ). II. IT IS URGENT AND IMPORTUNATE . ( Proverbs 8:2-4 ; see homily on Proverbs 1:20-23 .) III. IT MAKES ITS APPEAL TO UNIVERSAL MAN . ( Proverbs 8:4 , Proverbs 8:5 .) "Unto you, O men, I call,"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 8:1-21

Christ the Wisdom of God: No. 1 Though it is not to be supposed that Jesus Christ was in the mind of the writer of this passage, yet as he does personify wisdom, and as wisdom was incarnated in that Son of man who was the Son of God, we should expect to find that the words of the wise man in the text would apply, in large measure, to the Lord Jesus Christ. They do so, and suggest to us— I. THE MANNER OF HIS TEACHING . ( Proverbs 8:1-3 ) He "spake openly to the world, …... read more
