Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 2:6-9

The giver of Wisdom 2:6-9The searcher for wisdom will find what God gives when he or she searches divine revelation (Proverbs 2:6). The knowledge of how to live comes with the knowledge of God (Proverbs 2:7). The success in view is correct behavior (Proverbs 2:7-9). Lovers of wisdom are godly (Proverbs 2:8, Heb. hasidim, loyal sons of the covenant).This is another passage in which we can see the difference between Hebrew wisdom literature and that of other ancient nations. Solomon identified... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 2:10-22

The fruit of moral integrity 2:10-22Wisdom safeguards a person morally. The first part of this pericope shows how God protects the wise (Proverbs 2:10-11; cf. Proverbs 2:7-8). The last part presents the temptations one can overcome as he or she seeks wisdom (Proverbs 2:12-19). When a person submits himself or herself to God and gains wisdom, the ways of the wicked will lose some of their attractiveness. The wise person will see that the adventuress who promises thrills is offering something she... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 2:1-22

The Search for Wisdom1-4. The condition which must be fulfilled. Spinoza said, ’The effort to understand is the first and sole basis of virtue.’1. Hide] i.e. as a treasure. 2. The heart in OT. is the seat of the intellect. 4. Wealth was hoarded in the shape of gold and jewels. In times of peril this was buried (Genesis 43:23; Job 3:21; Jeremiah 41:8; Matthew 13:44). Hence the suspicion with which Orientals have often regarded modern explorers.5-8. The result. It brings us into relation with Him... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Proverbs 2:5

(5) Find the knowledge of God.—It is the highest of all gifts, even eternal life itself, to know God, the Giver of all good things. It was to bestow this knowledge upon man that Christ came into the world (John 17:3). He promises (Proverbs 14:21) the manifestation of Himself as the reward of obedience and love. And yet our highest knowledge of God in this life must be so imperfect, in comparison with the knowledge of Him hereafter, when we shall see Him “face to face” (1 Corinthians 13:12),... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Proverbs 2:8

(8) He keepeth the paths of judgment—i.e., protects those who walk in them.His saints.—Or rather, His ardent worshippers (chasîdîm), a term used in the Pentateuch (Deuteronomy 33:8) of the tribe of Levi, for their zeal in God’s service (Exodus 32:0), and of very frequent occurrence in the Psalter. The word “saint” rather implies dedication to God, as Israel was a “holy nation (Exodus 19:6) to God, and Christians (Philippians 1:1) are now in the same position. The term châsîd, at the time of the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:1-22

CHAPTER 3WISDOM AS THE GUIDE OF CONDUCT"To deliver thee from the way of the evil man…To deliver thee from the strange woman."- Proverbs 2:12-16WISDOM is concerned, as we have seen, with the whole universe of fact, with the whole range of thought; she surveys and orders all processes of nature. We might say of her,"She doth preserve the stars from wrong, And the most ancient heavens by her are fresh and strong."But while she is occupied in these high things, she is no less attentive to the... read more
