Proverbios 7:1

Proverbios 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.''

4 Di a la sabiduría: Tú eres mi hermana; y a la inteligencia llama parienta,

5 para que te guarden de la mujer ajena, y de la extraña que ablanda sus palabras.
