Contextual Overview
1 Hear, ye sons, the correction of a father, and attend, that ye may know understanding. 2 For, good teaching, have I given you, mine instruction, do not ye forsake. 3 For, a son, became I to my father, tender and most precious in the sight of my mother. 4 So he taught me, and said to me - Let thy heart, lay hold of my words, Keep my commandments and live! 5 Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding, Do not forget, neither decline thou from the sayings of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her, and she will guard thee, - love her and she will keep thee. 7 The principal thing, is wisdom, acquire thou wisdom, With all thine acquisition, acquire thou understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she will set thee on high, she will bring thee to honour, when thou dust embrace her: 9 She will give for thy head, a wreath of beauty, A crown of adorning, will she bestow upon thee. 10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and they will multiply to thee the years of life.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For I give you good doctrine,.... Whose author, matter, use, and tendency, are good, and therefore should be received; so the Gospel is called, 1 Timothy 4:6; and no other is here meant: it is the doctrine concerning Wisdom or Christ, as the following verses show; which serves to exalt him, and makes for the good and welfare of immortal souls; and such is the doctrine of the Scriptures, of Christ and his apostles, even all the doctrines and truths of the Gospel;
forsake you not my law; or "doctrine" o; not the law given on Mount Sinai, as Gersom interprets it; but the doctrine of Christ, which goes out from Mount Zion: this the children of Wisdom should not neglect, relinquish, drop, or depart from; but should keep it, and abide by it.
o ת××¨×ª× "doctrinam meam", Junius Tremellius, Piscator, Amama "instructionem meam", Schultens.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
