Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Proverbs 4:1

"In this chapter, there are three hortatory discourses (Proverbs 4:1-9; Proverbs 4:10-19, and Proverbs 4:20-27), exactly similar to the ones in Proverbs 2 and Proverbs 3.

The reader will find a good comment on this verse in the Book of Wisdom, chap. Proverbs 6:12-17. read more
