Proverbs 1:23 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Behold I will pour out, &c.— I will communicate my Spirit to you, and cause you to comprehend my words. "I will open my heart, explain my sentiments, set my counsels before your eyes: I demand only your attention, and your sincere return to me, to truth, to wisdom." The Hebrew is literally,

If you return at my instruction; or, if you turn your face at my correction; "I will make my Spirit flow upon you, as a source or fountain which produceth its water." Schultens says, the force of the Hebrew word is, נבע nabang, ebullire, ebullium vobis Spiritum meum. I will make my Spirit ebulliate upon you; See Psalms 59:7.
