Proverbs 3:21 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

Ver. 21. Let not them depart.] Ne effluant haec ab oculis tuis, saith the Vulgate. Ne haec a tuis oculis deflectant in obliquum huc et illuc; so Mercer.

Eye these things, as the steersman doth the compass, as the archer doth the mark he shoots at, 2Co 4:18 or as the passenger doth his way, which he finds hard to hit, and dangerous to miss. Yea, let them be the delight of thine eyes, with the sight whereof thou canst not be sated or surfeited.
