Proverbs 4:7 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Wisdom is the principal thing— "As there is no thing comparable to wisdom; so the first step to it is, to know as much, and to prize it accordingly. Begin therefore to be wise, by looking upon the fear of God as above all earthly possessions; and by being willing, if it were necessary, to give all thou art worth to know what is pleasing to him." The reader will find a good comment on this verse in the Book of Wisdom, chap. Proverbs 6:12-17.

Proverbs 4:7
