Contextual Overview
1 Doth not wysdome crye? doth not vnderstanding put foorth her voyce? 2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the place of the pathes: 3 She cryeth at the gates of the citie, at the entrye of the doores: 4 It is you O ye men [saith she] whom I call, vnto the chyldren of men do I lyft vp my voyce. 5 Take heede vnto knowledge O ye ignoraunt, be ye wise in heart O ye fooles. 6 Geue eare, for I wyll speake of great matters, and open my lippes to tell thinges that be right: 7 For my mouth shall be talking of the trueth, and my lippes abhorre vngodlynesse. 8 All the wordes of my mouth are righteous, there is no frowardnes nor falsehood in them. 9 They are all playne to suche as wyll vnderstande, and right to them that finde knowledge. 10 Receaue my doctrine and not siluer, and knowledge rather then fine golde:

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Receive my instruction, and not silver,.... Not but that silver may be desired, sought after and received, consistent with the instructions of wisdom; though an anxious, immoderate, sinful pursuit after it, hinders the reception of them; and when they are in competition, the one is to be preferred to the other: the doctrines of the Gospel are of more worth, and more to be desired, than thousands of gold and silver; and therefore the meaning is, that the instruction of wisdom should be received rather than silver; it should have the preference; so Gersom interprets it, and with which agrees the following clause:
and knowledge rather than choice gold; that is, the knowledge of Christ, and the knowledge of God in Christ; the knowledge of the Gospel, and the truths of it; a spiritual and experimental knowledge of these things is of more value than the finest gold, than the gold of Ophir; see Psalms 19:10.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 8:10. Receive my instruction, and not silver — A Hebrew idiom; receive my instruction in preference to silver.
