He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous. "He layeth up" as a "hid treasure," in order to call forth sedulous "searching" on our part (Proverbs 2:4). "Sound wisdom" х tuwshiyaah (H8454)] - literally, essence, real being; hence, essential, substantial - i:e., real solid wisdom, as contrasted with the vanities of worldly science, gain, and pleasure, which are not substantial, and have no stability, solidity, or permanence (cf. Proverbs 8:14). "The righteous" - Hebrew х yªshaariym (H3477)], the upright. It is not for all, but only for those who with sincerity and uprightness seek Him, that He "lays up sound and solid wisdom."
(He is) a buckler to them that walk uprightly - Hebrew х tom (H8537)], perfectly - i:e., with integrity (Psalms 15:2; Psalms 84:11; Isaiah 33:15-16).
