Spreuken 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.''

Spreuken 7:1 In-Context

1 Mijn zoon, bewaar mijn redenen, en leg mijn geboden bij u weg.
2 Bewaar mijn geboden, en leef, en mijn wet als den appel uwer ogen.
3 Bind ze aan uw vingeren, schrijf ze op de tafels uws harten.
4 Zeg tot de wijsheid: Gij zijt mijn zuster; en heet het verstand uw bloedvriend;
5 Opdat zij u bewaren voor een vreemde vrouw, voor de onbekende, die met haar redenen vleit.
