Commentary on Proverbs 22:17

Theological / Devotional

Hear the words. Some have thought that this verse, with its call to hearken, is the beginning of a new section of the book (see chs. 1:1; 10:1). Verses 17-21 form a continuous piece of writing in contrast with the brief, isolated proverbs before and after them.
