Provérbios 8:33 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 8:33

Hear instruction
The instruction of wisdom, the Gospel of Christ; which instructs men in things relating to God the Father; as that he is the God and Father of his people, the God of all grace, the giver and sender of Christ, and all good things by him; in things respecting Christ, his person, office, grace, and righteousness; in things that appertain to the Spirit of God, his deity, personality, and operations of grace on the souls of men; in the knowledge of themselves, their impurity, impotence, and unrighteousness; and in the way of salvation by Jesus Christ, and therefore to be hearkened to; and be wise;
this is the way to be wise to that which is good, both as to the knowledge and practice of it; to be wise unto salvation, and with respect to everlasting things and a future state; and the Gospel instruction teaches men to behave wisely, to walk in wisdom towards them that are without; and refuse it not;
for this is not to be wise, but to act the part of fools; and such as do so despise their own souls, show that they have no care of them, or concern for their eternal welfare, ( Proverbs 1:7 ) ( 15:32 ) ; for, if this is rejected, there is no escaping eternal damnation, ( Hebrews 2:3 ) .

Provérbios 8:33 In-Context

31 folgando no seu mundo habitável, e achando as minhas delícias com os filhos dos homens.
32 Agora, pois, filhos, ouvi-me; porque felizes são os que guardam os meus caminhos.
33 Ouvi a correção, e sede sábios; e não a rejeiteis.
34 Feliz é o homem que me dá ouvidos, velando cada dia �s minhas entradas, esperando junto �s ombreiras da minha porta.
35 Porque o que me achar achará a vida, e alcançará o favor do Senhor.
