Proverbs 9:10

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 9:1-18

Proverbs 9:1 . Wisdom hath builded her house. This chapter opens with a sublime allegory. We see the princess, the mother of angels and men, enthroned in her temple, “the church which is the pillar and ground of truth.” 1 Timothy 3:15. It presents a front of seven pillars, a favourite and mystical number in the Hebrew sanctuary. She prepares a royal festival, and invites a world to be her guests. She stands in every form of grace; she spreads her hands and cries in all high places, inviting... read more

Proverbs 9:10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.A just conception of GodThere are two things which sincere religion can never fail of attaining, one of which is the greatest ingredient--nay, the very foundation of all happiness in this world, and the other is the happiness and immortality which wait for us in the world to come.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 9:10

Pro 9:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding. Ver. 10. The fear of the Lord. ] See Trapp on " Pro 1:7 " Here it is given as a reason why wise men are the better for sharp and seasonable admonition, because the fear of the Lord is in them. This makes them, when they are reproved of all, "fall upon their faces, worship God, and say, God is in you of a truth." 1Co 14:26 What shall we say unto my lord? What shall we speak? How shall... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 9:1-12

WISDOM MAKETH A FEAST AND INVITETH GUESTS, Proverbs 9:1-12, The discourse on wisdom is continued, (Proverbs 9:1-12.) This heavenly wisdom is never separated in thought for a moment from virtue and piety. Though not exactly identical with virtue and piety, inasmuch as it is more comprehensive, these qualities are included in it, and make a principal part of it. (Proverbs 9:10.) It was contrary to the royal preceptor’s idea that any man could be wise who neglected his obligations to God and man.... read more

10. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom See on Proverbs 1:7; Proverbs 2:5. As in the beginning of this introductory discourse (or lecture, as we would call it in modern phrase,) the author commenced with this maxim, expressed in somewhat different form, as his motto or text, so now, in drawing to a conclusion, he returns to it, and repeats it with some modification and addition. In Proverbs 1:7 the form is יראת יהוה ראשׁית דעת , yirath Yehovah reshith da’hath, the fear of... read more
