Proverbes 5:1 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 5:1

My son, attend unto my wisdom
Not the wisdom of the world or of the flesh, worldly wisdom and carnal policy; but spiritual and evangelical wisdom; such as one that is greater than Solomon has in him, even Christ; "for in him are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge", ( Colossians 2:3 ) ; and which he teaches and communicates to others, even all proper instructions for conduct in life: the Gospel, and each of the doctrines of it, which are "the wisdom of God in a mystery", ( 1 Corinthians 2:7 ) : these every child of God, and disciple of Christ, ought carefully and diligently to attend unto; [and] bow thine ear to my understanding:
listen attentively to those things which I have, and give an understanding of, even things divine and spiritual; the understanding of which is of the utmost moment and importance.

Proverbes 5:1 In-Context

1 Mon fils, sois attentif à ma sagesse, incline ton oreille à ma prudence;

2 Afin que tu conserves la réflexion, et que tes lèvres gardent la connaissance.

3 Car les lèvres de l'étrangère distillent le miel, et son palais est plus doux que l'huile.

4 Mais ce qui en provient est amer comme de l'absinthe, et perçant comme une épée à deux tranchants.

5 Ses pieds conduisent à la mort; ses démarches aboutissent au Sépulcre.
