Proverbi 8:10

10 Ricevete il mio ammaestramento, e non dell’argento; E scienza, anzi che oro eletto.

Proverbi 8:10 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 8:10

Receive my instruction, and not silver
Not but that silver may be desired, sought after and received, consistent with the instructions of wisdom; though an anxious, immoderate, sinful pursuit after it, hinders the reception of them; and when they are in competition, the one is to be preferred to the other: the doctrines of the Gospel are of more worth, and more to be desired, than thousands of gold and silver; and therefore the meaning is, that the instruction of wisdom should be received rather than silver; it should have the preference; so Gersom interprets it, and with which agrees the following clause:

and knowledge rather than choice gold;
that is, the knowledge of Christ, and the knowledge of God in Christ; the knowledge of the Gospel, and the truths of it; a spiritual and experimental knowledge of these things is of more value than the finest gold, than the gold of Ophir; see ( Psalms 19:10 ) ( 119:72 ) .

Proverbi 8:10 In-Context

8 Tutti i detti della mia bocca son con giustizia; In essi non vi è nulla di torto o di perverso.

9 Essi tutti son diritti agl’intendenti, E bene addirizzati a coloro che hanno trovata la scienza.

10 Ricevete il mio ammaestramento, e non dell’argento; E scienza, anzi che oro eletto.

11 Perciocchè la sapienza è migliore che le perle; E tutte le cose le più care non l’agguagliano.

12 Io, la Sapienza, abito nell’avvedimento, E trovo la conoscenza de’ buoni avvisi.
