Provérbios 4:5 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 4:5

Get wisdom, get understanding
Not only moral and political wisdom and understanding, but that which is spiritual and evangelical; Christ, and the knowledge of him; he being the only happy man that has an interest in him, and is possessed of him by faith, which is the meaning of getting him; (See Gill on Proverbs 3:13); by which it appears, that what Solomon had before delivered, and afterwards repeats and urges, was the same his father David, that wise, great, and good man, taught him; and which he mentions, the more to recommend the getting of wisdom and understanding to others; forget [it] not;
when gotten, keep it in remembrance; be continually meditating on Wisdom, or Christ, his glories and excellencies; the fulness of grace and truth in him; the blessings of goodness which come by him; the great use and profit of having and enjoying him; neither decline from the words of my mouth;
the above instructions, and all others he gave unto him.

Provérbios 4:5 In-Context

3 Quando eu era filho aos pés de meu, pai, tenro e único em estima diante de minha mãe,

4 ele me ensinava, e me dizia: Retenha o teu coração as minhas palavras; guarda os meus mandamentos, e vive.

5 Adquire a sabedoria, adquire o entendimento; não te esqueças nem te desvies das palavras da minha boca.

6 Não a abandones, e ela te guardará; ama-a, e ela te preservará.

7 A sabedoria é a coisa principal; adquire, pois, a sabedoria; sim, com tudo o que possuis adquire o entendimento.
