Commentary on Proverbs 2:5

Theological / Devotional

Find the knowledge. Treasure hunts may fail, but one who truly seeks will never fail to reach an understanding of the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom. Although an exhaustive knowledge of God can never be obtained, even though a happy eternity is spent in learning ever more of His loving nature, knowledge sufficient for salvation is promised to every searcher for truth (Matt. 7:7, 8).

God. Heb. ’Elohim, occurring only five times in the book of Proverbs, here and in chs. 2:17; 3:4; 25:2; 30:9. Yahweh, translated “Lord,” is the commonly used term for Deity in this book.
