DISCOURSE: 756BENEFITS OF TRUE WISDOMProverbs 2:10-22. 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: who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: to deliver thee... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 2:1-22

Chapter 2My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with you; So that you incline your ear unto wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; Yes, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding; If you seek after her as silver, and you search for her as for a hidden treasure; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 2:1-22

Proverbs 2:1-2 . Hide my commandments with thee, as a treasure is secured in the cabinet, or as the copy of the law was put within the ark in the holy place. The words of the law must be retained in the memory, as maxims of wisdom, and the sentiments concealed in the heart. Then they are ready on all occasions, as defences against temptation. This is to incline, to cleanse, and open the ear. Proverbs 2:4 . If thou seekest her, as the merchants in search of gold and silver cross the... read more

Proverbs 2:6For the Lord giveth wisdom. The fountain of wisdomI. That God is the only fountain of all true wisdom. Men say that the Deity is not the only source of it, but that much of it may be attained by a converse with beings most opposite to Him, even with wicked and reprobate spirits. Such were the oracles and gods of the Gentiles, which the wisest men among them, not excepting Socrates himself, consulted, to learn of them how to set about and manage their most weighty affairs. Their... read more

Proverbs 2:7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous.Good men and their GodI. The character of good men.1. They are spoken of as the “righteous.” The moral code of the universe may be reduced to two words: “Be just.” Be just to yourselves, to others, and to God. Virtue, morality, and religion constitute a righteous man.2. They are spoken of as “walking uprightly.” Goodness in all moral creatures is not stationary, but progressive.3. They are spoken of as “saints.” They are consecrated to... read more

Proverbs 2:11Discretion shall preserve thee. HumilityThis is the first sought and last won of the Christian graces. Such are the difficulties in the acquisition of humility that it is but seldom really found. It is a common want of the present day. See the ordinary courtesy of modern society. See the special snare in intellectual careers. In both of these provinces of life especial discouragement has been given during the recent period to the growth in us of true humility.I. Abjectness is not... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 2:6

Pro 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding. Ver. 6. Out of his mouth cometh knowledge. ] If it could be said by the divine chronologer, a Ex Adami sapientissimi doctoris ore promanavit tanquam ex fonte quicquid in mundo est utilium doctrinarum, disciplinarum, scientiae et sapientiae - Out of Adam’s mouth, even after the fall, as out of a fountain, flowed all the profitable knowledge, skill, and wisdom in the world: how much better may the same... read more

He layeth up sound wisdom. ] Heb., Substance, reality; that which hath a true being, in opposition to that which is not; so riches are described. Pro 23:5 Heaven only hath a "foundation"; Heb 11:10 earth hath none, but is "hanged upon nothing." Job 16:7 Grace hath solid substance in it and true worth; whereas opinion only sets the price upon all outward things. The prophet Amos... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 2:9

Pro 2:9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; [yea], every good path. Ver. 9. Then shalt thou understand righteousness. ] Not as cognoscitiva, standing in speculation; but as directiva vitae, a rule of life. Knowledge is either apprehensive only, or affective also. This differs from that, as much as the light of the sun, wherein is the influence of an enlivening power, from the light of torches. read more
