Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 3:13-20

Solomon had pressed us earnestly to seek diligently for wisdom (Prov. 2:1), and had assured us that we should succeed in our sincere and constant pursuits. But the question is, What shall we get by it when we have found it? Prospect of advantage is the spring and spur of industry; he therefore shows us how much it will be to our profit, laying this down for an unquestionable truth, Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, that true wisdom which consists in the knowledge and love of God, and an... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Proverbs 3:21-26

Solomon, having pronounced those happy who not only lay hold on wisdom, but retain her, here exhorts us therefore to retain her, assuring us that we ourselves shall have the comfort of doing so. I. The exhortation is, to have religion's rules always in view and always at heart, Prov. 3:21. 1. To have them always in view: ?My son, let them not depart from thy eyes; let not thy eyes ever depart from them to wander after vanity. Have them always in mind, and do not forget them; be ever and anon... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 3:20

By his knowledge the depths are broken up ,.... From whence fountains and rivers flow, and whereby that great cavity was made which holds that large confluence of waters called the sea, Genesis 1:9 . Some refer this to the breaking up the fountains of the great deep at the flood, Genesis 7:11 ; and others to the dividing of the waters of the Red sea when Israel came out of Egypt, Psalm 78:13 ; all wonderful works of divine wisdom, and show the greatness of him, in whom are "hid all the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 3:21

My son, let not them depart from thine eyes ,.... Meaning not the things done by Wisdom; though it is good to contemplate his works of creation and providence, which serve to set forth the glory of Christ, and lead into adoring and admiring views of him, and to thankfulness to him; but wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, whereby these things are done, which are but so many names of Christ: we should always set him before us, keep him always in view, be ever looking to him by faith, and... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Proverbs 3:22

So shall they be life unto thy soul ,.... Give it a better life than it naturally has, though immortal; Christ is both the spiritual and eternal life of the souls of those that look unto him by faith; and his Gospel, and the doctrines of it, are the means of reviving drooping saints, and of quickening them to the discharge of their duty; wherefore both he and they should be kept in continual view, and held fast; and grace to thy neck ; an ornament to that and to the whole man; how... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:20

By his knowledge the depths are broken up - He determined in his wisdom how to break up the fountains of the great deep, so as to bring a flood of waters upon the earth; and by his knowledge those fissures in the earth through which springs of water arise have been appointed and determined; and it is by his skill and influence that vapours are exhaled, suspended in the atmosphere, and afterwards precipitated on the earth in rain, dews, etc. Thus the wisest of men attributes those effects... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:21

Let not them depart from thine eyes - Never forget that God, who is the author of nature, directs and governs it in all things; for it is no self-determining agent. Keep sound wisdom and discretion - ומזמה תושיה tushiyah umezimmah . We have met with both these words before. Tushiyah is the essence or substance of a thing; mezimmah is the resolution or purpose formed in reference to something good or excellent. To acknowledge God as the author of all good, is the tushiyah, the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 3:13-20

More precious than rubies. We must bear in mind that the wisdom here commended to us is not mere knowledge, science, philosophy. It has two important characteristics. First, it is religious ; it is based on the fear of God. Second, it is practical ; it assumes the direction of human conduct. It is the knowledge of Divine truth, and the application of it to life. Why is this to be accounted most precious? I. WISDOM IS VALUABLE ON ACCOUNT OF ITS OWN INHERENT ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 3:13-26

Wisdom's inestimable worth Here are found many strong recommendations of heavenly wisdom, and we might adopt the thirteenth verse as a refrain to each one of them: "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding." I. POSSESSORS OF IT , WE ARE SHAREHOLDERS WITH GOD HIMSELF . ( Proverbs 3:19 , Proverbs 3:20 .) Only by wisdom could the Divine Founder of all visible things make them what they are. His wonder workings in the heavens above... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 3:19-20

Wisdom the principle of the creation Perhaps the mention of the tree of life has reminded the writer of the early account of the creation in Genesis 1:1-31 , it. He thus traces the visible world and its order to its spiritual root in the mind of God. He gives a brief sketch of the construction of the cosmos, according to the ancient mode of thought. Both heaven and earth are fixed and made fast; and the water masses divided into those above and those below the "firmament;" the... read more
