8 for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
8 guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.
8 He keeps his eye on all who live honestly, and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones.
8 He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints.
8 He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 2:8
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.
