Proverbs 24:23 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

These things also belong to the wise— The meaning may be, that the following proverbs were selected from the books of the wise men who lived after Solomon, to the time of Hezekiah. The words at the head of this verse seem to be a new title to the proverbs which follow to chap. 25: Such is the opinion of Calmet, Grotius, Grey, &c. But may they not signify only and simply, "These things also which follow belong to the wise, holy, and virtuous conduct of life?"
