Proverbios 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 ) .

Proverbios 8:10 In-Context

8 Conforme a la justicia son todas las palabras de mi boca, no hay en ellas nada torcido ni perverso.

9 Todas son sinceras para el que entiende, y rectas para los que han hallado conocimiento.

10 Recibid mi instrucción y no la plata, y conocimiento antes que el oro escogido;

11 porque mejor es la sabiduría que las joyas, y todas las cosas deseables no pueden compararse con ella.

12 Yo, la sabiduría, habito con la prudencia, y he hallado conocimiento y discreción.
