Proverbes 3:22 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 3:22

So shall they be life unto thy soul
Give it a better life than it naturally has, though immortal; Christ is both the spiritual and eternal life of the souls of those that look unto him by faith; and his Gospel, and the doctrines of it, are the means of reviving drooping saints, and of quickening them to the discharge of their duty; wherefore both he and they should be kept in continual view, and held fast; and grace to thy neck;
an ornament to that and to the whole man; how ornamental is Christ and his righteousness to a believer! how lovely is the person that is steady in his principles, and regular in his practices! who stands fast in the truths of the Gospel, and whose conversation is as becomes it! see ( Proverbs 1:9 ) ( 3:3 ) .

Proverbes 3:22 In-Context

20 C'est par sa science que les abîmes s'ouvrent, et que les nuées distillent la rosée.
21 Mon fils, qu'elles ne s'écartent point de devant tes yeux; garde la sagesse et la prudence,
22 Et elles seront la vie de ton âme, et un ornement à ton cou.
23 Alors tu marcheras en assurance par ton chemin, et ton pied ne heurtera point.
24 Si tu te couches, tu n'auras point de frayeur; et quand tu seras couché, ton sommeil sera doux.
