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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:2-5
Proverbs 2:2-5 I. Solomon's meaning is, that we are to begin life by fearing God, without understanding it; as a child obeys his parents without understanding the meaning of their commands. If we do not always know the reason at first, we shall know it in due time, and get, so Solomon says, to understand the fear of the Lord. In due time we shall see from experience that we are in the path of life. II. This is the secret of life to believe that God is your Father, schooling and training you... read more

DISCOURSE: 754THE WAY OF ATTAINING DIVINE KNOWLEDGEProverbs 2:1-6. 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; yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord giveth wisdom; out of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:1-22
Chapter 2My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with you; So that you incline your ear unto wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; Yes, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding; If you seek after her as silver, and you search for her as for a hidden treasure; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up... 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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 2:1-22
Proverbs 2:1-Song of Solomon : . Third Discourse.— The wise man praises Wisdom, describing the blessings of obedience to her. The deeper religious element in wisdom appears, the fundamental conception of Hebrew prophecy, that the knowledge of God is the supreme good. Proverbs 2:1-1 Kings : . If the young man hearkens to wisdom, prizes it above all other gain, he will acquire the true knowledge of God. Yahweh alone gives wisdom, and He gives it only to the upright. Proverbs 2:5 . The phrase “... read more
