Gill's Notes on the Bible
The way of the wicked [is] as darkness,.... They are in the darkness of sin, ignorance, error, and unbelief; their works are works of darkness; the way in which they are leads to eternal darkness, ruin, and misery, and so must be most uncomfortable and dangerous;
they know not at what they stumble; they stumble at the word, which they are ignorant of, and at Christ, whom they have no knowledge of; and through the temptations of Satan and snares of the world, which they are not aware of, nor upon their guard against.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The counsel which has come to him, in substance, from his father. Compare it with 2 Samuel 23:2 etc.; 1 Chronicles 28:9; 1 Chronicles 29:17; Psalms 15:1-5; Psalms 24:1-10; Psalms 37:0.
Proverbs 4:7
Or, âThe beginning of wisdom is - get wisdom.â To seek is to find, to desire is to obtain.
Proverbs 4:12
The ever-recurring parable of the journey of life. In the way of wisdom the path is clear and open, obstacles disappear; in the quickest activity (âwhen thou runnestâ) there is no risk of falling.
Proverbs 4:13
She is thy life - Another parallel between personified Wisdom in this book and the Incarnate Wisdom in John 1:4.
Proverbs 4:16
A fearful stage of debasement. Sin is the condition without which there can be no repose.
Proverbs 4:17
i. e., Bread and wine gained by unjust deeds. Compare Amos 2:8. A less probable interpretation is, âThey eat wickedness as bread, and drink violence as wine.â Compare Job 15:16; Job 34:7.
Proverbs 4:18
Shining ... shineth - The two Hebrew words are different; the first having the sense of bright or clear. The beauty of a cloudless sunshine growing on, shining as it goes, to the full and perfect day, is chosen as the fittest figure of the ever increasing brightness of the good manâs life. Compare the marginal reference.
Proverbs 4:19
Compare our Lordâs teaching John 11:10; John 12:35.
Proverbs 4:20
The teacher speaks again in his own person.
