Proverbes 7:1 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 7:1

My son, keep my words
Doctrines and instructions; which, as a father to a son, or a master to his scholars, he had delivered; these he would have him observe and attend to; and lay up my commandments with thee:
as a treasure in his heart, to be brought out upon occasion; to be kept as valuable, and made use of as an antidote against and a preservative from sinning; see ( Psalms 119:11 ) . The Septuagint and Arabic versions add, what is not in the Hebrew text,

``son, honour the Lord, and thou shalt be strong;''

the Arabic adds,

``and he shall strengthen thee; and fear none besides him.''

Proverbes 7:1 In-Context

1 Mon fils, garde mes paroles et conserve au-dedans de toi mes commandements.

2 Observe mes commandements, et tu vivras; garde mon enseignement comme la prunelle de tes yeux;

3 Lie-les à tes doigts, écris-les sur la table de ton cœur.

4 Dis à la sagesse: Tu es ma sœur; et appelle la prudence ton amie;

5 Afin qu'elles te préservent de la femme étrangère, et de la femme d'autrui, qui se sert de paroles flatteuses.
