Commentary on Proverbs 1:23

Theological / Devotional

Pour out my spirit. If the simple, the scorners, or even fools will turn and listen, wisdom will instruct them and imbue them with the spirit of essential knowledge. At the same time the Spirit of God will make clear to them the words of conviction and will bring them to repentance. The measure of the Spirit is determined by the capacity of the one who accepts, not by the God who gives (see GC 477).
