21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
21 My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion;
21 My son, do not lose sight of these-- keep sound wisdom and discretion,
21 Dear friend, guard Clear Thinking and Common Sense with your life; don't for a minute lose sight of them.
21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes-- Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
21 My child, don't lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 3:21
Commentary on Proverbs 3:21-26
(Read Proverbs 3:21-26)
Let us not suffer Christ's words to depart from us, but keep sound wisdom and discretion; then shall we walk safely in his ways. The natural life, and all that belongs to it, shall be under the protection of God's providence; the spiritual life, and all its interests, under the protection of his grace, so that we shall be kept from falling into sin or trouble.
