Commentary on Proverbs 2:10

Theological / Devotional

When. Better, “for.” The Hebrew preposition ki may have either of these meanings.

Heart. Really, “mind.” To us the heart is figuratively the seat of emotions. To the Hebrews the bowels were the seat of emotions, and the heart the seat of the intellect.

Knowledge is pleasant. Many acquire learning upon the urging of parents or teachers, and gather a measure of wisdom, but there is a vast difference between such learning and that which is inspired by a love of wisdom. Especially is this the case when the wisdom to be learned is the way of eternal life. Salvation from sin demands an active love for truth and a delight in right knowledge.
