Proverbi 7:1

1 Figliuol mio, guarda i miei detti, E riponi appo te i miei comandamenti.

Proverbi 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.''

Proverbi 7:1 In-Context

1 Figliuol mio, guarda i miei detti, E riponi appo te i miei comandamenti.

2 Guarda i miei comandamenti, e tu viverai; E guarda il mio insegnamento, come la pupilla degli occhi tuoi.

3 Legateli alle dita, Scrivili in su la tavola del tuo cuore.

4 Di’ alla sapienza: Tu sei mia sorella; E chiama la prudenza tua parente;

5 Acciocchè esse ti guardino dalla donna straniera, Dalla forestiera che parla vezzosamente.
