Proverbes 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.

Proverbes 4:2 In-Context

1 Enfants, écoutez l'instruction de votre père, et soyez attentifs pour connaître la prudence.
2 Car je vous donne de bons conseils; n'abandonnez point mon enseignement.
3 Quand j'étais encore enfant près de mon père, tendre et chéri auprès de ma mère,
4 Il m'enseignait et me disait: Que ton cœur retienne mes paroles; garde mes commandements, et tu vivras.
5 Acquiers la sagesse, acquiers la prudence; ne l'oublie pas, et ne te détourne point des paroles de ma bouche.
