Sprueche 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.''

1 Mein Kind, behalte meine Rede und verbirg meine Gebote bei dir.
2 Behalte meine Gebote, so wirst du leben, und mein Gesetz wie deinen Augapfel.
3 Binde sie an deine Finger; schreibe sie auf die Tafel deines Herzens.
4 Sprich zur Weisheit: "Du bist meine Schwester", und nenne die Klugheit deine Freundin,
5 daß du behütet werdest vor dem fremden Weibe, vor einer andern, die glatte Worte gibt.
