Key Verse: Proverbs 1:7
The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; But arrogant fools despise [skillful and godly] wisdom and instruction and self-discipline.

Overview

This chapter has 22 verses.
The main theme of the whole chapter is The Value of Wisdom.
There are kingdom valuations that are contrary to human valuations. Kingdom values cannot be measured using human scales. The wisdom espoused in this book has values beyond measure.
  1. ✳️ Verses 1-5 Begins with a salutation to a son. If you embrace the pursuit and practice of wisdom, your perfection will declare sonship.
  2. ✳️ Verses 6-9 God is the source of wisdom
  3. ✳️ Verses 10-22 The entrance of wisdom, her fruit, her guidance and her counsel; the place of the wicked who ignore wisdom.
Wisdom is a hidden... God is rewarded of those who diligently seek Him. As we diligently seek Him, we also arrive at wisdom..

Commentaries


Evelyn : My two cents on proverbs chapter Two.

  1. Hi, the verse in proverbs 2:1-2 my son if u receive my words n treasure my commands incline ur ear to wisdom. The writer Solomon is directing us to position ourselves to sound wisdom. What will it take all of us to incline. What would it take if we did so. We would be the most intelligent species on earth!!!
