Proverbios 5:1 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 5:1

My son, attend unto my wisdom
Not the wisdom of the world or of the flesh, worldly wisdom and carnal policy; but spiritual and evangelical wisdom; such as one that is greater than Solomon has in him, even Christ; "for in him are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge", ( Colossians 2:3 ) ; and which he teaches and communicates to others, even all proper instructions for conduct in life: the Gospel, and each of the doctrines of it, which are "the wisdom of God in a mystery", ( 1 Corinthians 2:7 ) : these every child of God, and disciple of Christ, ought carefully and diligently to attend unto; [and] bow thine ear to my understanding:
listen attentively to those things which I have, and give an understanding of, even things divine and spiritual; the understanding of which is of the utmost moment and importance.

Proverbios 5:1 In-Context

1 HIJO mío, está atento á mi sabiduría, Y á mi inteligencia inclina tu oído;
2 Para que guardes consejo, Y tus labios conserven la ciencia.
3 Porque los labios de la extraña destilan miel, Y su paladar es más blando que el aceite;
4 Mas su fin es amargo como el ajenjo, Agudo como cuchillo de dos filos.
5 Sus pies descienden á la muerte; Sus pasos sustentan el sepulcro:
