Proverbs 2
Brothel Scene (1537) Brunswick Monogrammist (fl. between 1525 and 1545) Early Netherlandish Style Gemaldegalerie, Berlin, Germany Image Source: Wikipedia [ Illustration: A significant part of wisdom is to avoid the type of people and the types of situations depicted in today's painting. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Proverbs 2, Solomon describes the benefits of wisdom. It enables those who seek it to avoid evil things and evil people and to find good things with good people and favor and fellowship with the LORD. Solomon encourages his son to receive (take in) his words, to hide his commandments within himself to incline his ear (to prick up his ear) to wisdom, to apply (stretch out) his heart to understanding, to cry after knowledge, to lift up his heart for understanding, and to seek her as for silver or hidden treasures. If he does this he will understand the fear (reverence) for the LORD; and he will find the knowledge of God (1-5). The LORD gives wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. He lays up sound (substantial) wisdom for the righteous (the straight). He is a buckler (a shield) to those who walk uprightly. He keeps (guards) the paths of judgment and preserves (hedges about) the way of his saints. Then he will understand righteousness, judgment, equity, and every good path (6-9). When wisdom enters his heart and knowledge is pleasant to his soul, discretion shall preserve him and understanding will keep him to deliver him from the way of evil, from those who speak froward (perverse) things, who leave the paths of uprightness, who walk in the ways of darkness, who rejoice to do evil, who delight in the frowardness (perversity) of the wicked, whose ways are crooked, who are froward (turned aside) in their paths. It will deliver him from the strange (turned aside) woman, from the stranger who flatters with her words, who forsakes the guide of her youth, who forgets the covenant of her God. Her house inclines (sinks into) death; her paths lead to the dead. None who go to her return again, nor do they take hold of the paths of life (10-19). Wisdom will cause him to walk in the good way and keep the paths of the righteous. The upright will dwell in the land; and the perfect (excellent) shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth; and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it (20-22). [ Sermons: Eric Alexander.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
