7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
7 He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
7 He's a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere.
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 2:7
Commentary on Proverbs 2:1-9
(Read Proverbs 2:1-9)
Those who earnestly seek heavenly wisdom, will never complain that they have lost their labour; and the freeness of the gift does not do away the necessity of our diligence, John 6:27. Let them seek, and they shall find it; let them ask, and it shall be given them. Observe who are thus favoured. They are the righteous, on whom the image of God is renewed, which consists in righteousness. If we depend upon God, and seek to him for wisdom, he will enable us to keep the paths of judgment.
