Commentary on Proverbs 1:3
Theological / DevotionalWisdom. Heb. sekel, a word that is different from the one translated “wisdom” in v. 2. Sekel means “prudence,” “insight,” “good sense.” The word, however, is synonymous with wisdom. Hebrew poetry characteristically multiplies synonyms. These are to be understood as parallel expressions rather than ideas distinct from one another. The effect of such multiplication of expressions is to emphasize the comprehensiveness of the subject under consideration and to give the subject full coverage in all its aspects.
