Proverbs-2:5-11
John Calvin
James Gray
James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:1-22
The nature of this book makes divisions of its chapters rather arbitrary, and ours may not always be the best, but it is hoped it may prove useful in some degree. The opening of chapter four suggests a new beginning, for which reason we conclude this lesson at the close of chapter three. It begins with an advertisement (Proverbs 1:1-6 ), in which mention is made of the author (Proverbs 1:1 ), the object of the book (Proverbs 1:2-3 ), and its great value (Proverbs 1:4-6 ). Then follows its... read more
Joseph Parker
The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Proverbs 2:1-22
The Promises of Wisdom Proverbs 2:0 This third discourse consists of an exhortation to follow after Wisdom. The position of seniority is still retained, the voice of the father predominates throughout the whole of the animated and noble counsel. The general tone of the exhortation is that of profound and painful experience. "My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee" ( Pro 2:1 ). The tone of entreaty of this verse is very remarkable. The father is by no means... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 2:6-8
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Is it not God our Father, that is here particularly spoken of? For who gave Christ to the church, but the Father? John 3:16 . Who was it called him in righteousness, or laid up salvation in him, and laid our iniquities upon him? Isaiah 42:6 . To whom is... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 2:9-12
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; How beautiful, if explained upon gospel terms, and with an eye to Christ, as wisdom, are these verses! If Christ be indeed formed in the heart, the hope of glory, then will all... read more
George Haydock
George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:7
Salvation. Protestants, "sound wisdom." Tushiya (Haydock) often occurs in this book, and is very comprehensive, (Calmet) denoting the substance (Haydock) of goodness, virtue, &c., Job v. 12. read more

Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 2:1-9
1-9 Those who earnestly seek heavenly wisdom, will never complain that they have lost their labour; and the freeness of the gift does not do away the necessity of our diligence, John 6:27. Let them seek, and they shall find it; let them ask, and it shall be given them. Observe who are thus favoured. They are the righteous, on whom the image of God is renewed, which consists in righteousness. If we depend upon God, and seek to him for wisdom, he will enable us to keep the paths of judgment. read more
Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 2:10-22
10-22 If we are truly wise, we shall be careful to avoid all evil company and evil practices. When wisdom has dominion over us, then it not only fills the head, but enters into the heart, and will preserve, both against corruptions within and temptations without. The ways of sin are ways of darkness, uncomfortable and unsafe: what fools are those who leave the plain, pleasant, lightsome paths of uprightness, to walk in such ways! They take pleasure in sin; both in committing it, and in seeing... read more
