Commentary on Proverbs 23:14

Theological / Devotional

Knowledge of wisdom. As honey is pleasant to the taste and good for the strengthening of the body, so is wisdom to the soul or character. Wisdom is sweet in itself to those who learn to appreciate it, and the results in this life and the next are sweeter yet. If wisdom is found and assimilated, then when the future time of rewards comes, the wise and righteous man will not fail of his reward.

Commentary on Proverbs 23:14

Theological / Devotional

Deliver his soul. Save his life by inculcating those good habits of obedience that make for longevity (Ex. 20:12). “Hell,” Heb. she’ol, is here representative of death.
