Sprueche 23:12 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 23:12

Apply thine heart unto instruction
To the instruction of parents, and to the instruction of ministers of the word; to the Scriptures, which are profitable to instruction in righteousness; to the instruction of wisdom, or to the Gospel of Christ, which instructs in things relating to him, and to salvation by him: or, "bring in thine heart to instruction" F25; not only bring thy body to the place of instruction, the house of God, but bring thine heart thither also; and thine ears to the words of knowledge;
the doctrines of the Gospel, which are the means of the knowledge of God and Christ, and of all divine, spiritual, and heavenly tidings; and of a growth in the knowledge of them; and therefore should be diligently hearkened and cordially attended to.

10 Verrücke nicht die vorigen Grenzen und gehe nicht auf der Waisen Acker.
11 Denn ihr Erlöser ist mächtig; der wird ihre Sache wider dich ausführen.
12 Gib dein Herz zur Zucht und deine Ohren zu vernünftiger Rede.
13 Laß nicht ab den Knaben zu züchtigen; denn wenn du ihn mit der Rute haust, so wird man ihn nicht töten.
14 Du haust ihn mit der Rute; aber du errettest seine Seele vom Tode
