Proverbios 2:2-4 RVR1960

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

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

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

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 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

WISDOM’S COUNSELS‘My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; … then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.’ Proverbs 2:1-Deuteronomy : 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... read more

Peter Pett

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
