Proverbs 23:19 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 23:19

Hear thou, my son, and be wise
Hear the instruction of a father, of the word of Wisdom, of the ministers of the Gospel, which is the way to be wise unto salvation; faith comes by hearing; spiritual wisdom, and an increase of it; the Spirit of God, and his gifts and graces; and guide thine heart in the way;
in the way of the Lord, in the way of wisdom and understanding, in the way of truth and faith, in the way of religious worship, in the way of the commandments and ordinances of the Lord; in all which the heart should be guided and directed, or otherwise it will be of no avail.

Proverbs 23:19 In-Context

17 non aemuletur cor tuum peccatores sed in timore Domini esto tota die
18 quia habebis spem in novissimo et praestolatio tua non auferetur
19 audi fili mi et esto sapiens et dirige in via animum tuu
20 noli esse in conviviis potatorum nec in comesationibus eorum qui carnes ad vescendum conferunt
21 quia vacantes potibus et dantes symbola consumentur et vestietur pannis dormitati
