Proverbi 8:10 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 8:10

Receive my instruction, and not silver
Not but that silver may be desired, sought after and received, consistent with the instructions of wisdom; though an anxious, immoderate, sinful pursuit after it, hinders the reception of them; and when they are in competition, the one is to be preferred to the other: the doctrines of the Gospel are of more worth, and more to be desired, than thousands of gold and silver; and therefore the meaning is, that the instruction of wisdom should be received rather than silver; it should have the preference; so Gersom interprets it, and with which agrees the following clause:

and knowledge rather than choice gold;
that is, the knowledge of Christ, and the knowledge of God in Christ; the knowledge of the Gospel, and the truths of it; a spiritual and experimental knowledge of these things is of more value than the finest gold, than the gold of Ophir; see ( Psalms 19:10 ) ( 119:72 ) .

Proverbi 8:10 In-Context

8 Tutte le parole della mia bocca son conformi a giustizia, non v’è nulla di torto o di perverso in esse.

9 Son tutte piane per l’uomo intelligente, e rette per quelli che han trovato la scienza.

10 Ricevete la mia istruzione anziché l’argento, e la scienza anziché l’oro scelto;

11 poiché la sapienza val più delle perle, e tutti gli oggetti preziosi non la equivalgono.

12 Io, la sapienza, sto con l’accorgimento, e trovo la scienza della riflessione.
