Proverbi 4:2 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 4:2

For I give you good doctrine
Whose author, matter, use, and tendency, are good, and therefore should be received; so the Gospel is called, ( 1 Timothy 4:6 ) ; and no other is here meant: it is the doctrine concerning Wisdom or Christ, as the following verses show; which serves to exalt him, and makes for the good and welfare of immortal souls; and such is the doctrine of the Scriptures, of Christ and his apostles, even all the doctrines and truths of the Gospel; forsake you not my law;
or "doctrine" ^F15; not the law given on Mount Sinai, as Gersom interprets it; but the doctrine of Christ, which goes out from Mount Zion: this the children of Wisdom should not neglect, relinquish, drop, or depart from; but should keep it, and abide by it.

Proverbi 4:2 In-Context

1 FIGLIUOLI, ascoltate l’ammaestramento del padre; E siate attenti, per conoscer la prudenza.

2 Perciocchè io vi ho data buona dottrina, Non lasciate la mia legge.

3 Perciocchè io ancora sono stato figliuol di mio padre, Tenero, ed unico appresso mia madre.

4 Ed esso mi ammaestrava, e mi diceva: Il tuo cuore ritenga le mie parole; Osserva i miei comandamenti, e tu viverai.

5 Acquista sapienza, acquista prudenza; Non dimenticare i detti della mia bocca, e non rivolgertene indietro.
