Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 3:21-24

My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. These are all so many gracious lessons suited to a life of grace. The subject is still kept up and pursued under the idea of an adopted, regenerated son, in whose heart the Spirit... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 3:13-20

13-20 No precious jewels or earthly treasures are worthy to be compared with true wisdom, whether the concerns of time or eternity be considered. We must make wisdom our business; we must venture all in it, and be willing to part with all for it. This Wisdom is the Lord Jesus Christ and his salvation, sought and obtained by faith and prayer. Were it not for unbelief, remaining sinfulness, and carelessness, we should find all our ways pleasantness, and our paths peace, for his are so; but we too... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 3:13-26

The Happiness of Possessing True Wisdom v. 13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, obtaining it with eagerness and holding it securely, and the man that getteth understanding, drawing or digging it out, even with much labor. v. 14. For the merchandise of it, the act of gaining or acquiring wisdom, is better than the merchandise of silver, such as men are eager to accumulate, and the gain thereof than fine gold, even though it be of the finest and purest kind. v. 15. She is more precious... read more

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Proverbs 3:11-24

Proverbs THE GIFTS OF HEAVENLY WISDOM Pro_3:11 - Pro_3:24 . The repetition of the words ‘my son’ at the beginning of this passage marks a new section, which extends to Pro_3:20 , inclusively, another section being similarly marked as commencing in Pro_3:21 . The fatherly counsels of these early chapters are largely reiterations of the same ideas, being line upon line. ‘To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.’ Many strokes drive the nail home.... read more
