Contextual Overview

10 When wisdome entreth into thine heart, and thy soule deliteth in knowledge: 11 Then shall counsayle preserue thee, and vnderstandyng shall kepe thee, 12 That thou mayest be deliuered from the euyll way, and from the man that speaketh frowarde thynges: 13 From such as leaue the wayes of righteousnesse, to walke in the wayes of darknesse: 14 Which reioyce in doyng naught, and delite in the wickednesse of the euyll: 15 Whose wayes are croked, and they frowarde in their pathes. 16 That thou mayest be deliuered also from the straunge woman, and from her that is not thine owne, which geueth sweete wordes, 17 Forsaketh the husbande of her youth, & forgetteth the couenaunt of her God. 18 For her house is enclined vnto death, and her pathes vnto hell. 19 All they that go in vnto her, come not agayne, neither take they holde of the way of lyfe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Discretion shall preserve thee,.... Which wisdom or the Gospel gives, or the Lord by the means of it; for the Gospel makes a man wise and discreet in the business of salvation, and in his conduct and deportment; and the discretion it gives him will put him upon his guard, and direct him to watch against every error, and every false way. And so the words may be rendered, "discretion will watch over thee"; to keep thee from everything pernicious in doctrine and practice. The Septuagint version renders it, "good counsel"; which wisdom gives, and the Gospel is full of; and which, if attended to, is a means of the preservation of the saints;

understanding shall keep thee; which is only the same thing expressed in other words. The Septuagint version renders it, "an holy thought"; and the Arabic version, "a just thought shall preserve thee in thy last times". What these are a means of keeping and preserving from is explained in the following verses.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 2:11. Discretion shall preserve thee — מזמה mezimmah. See on Proverbs 1:4. Here the word is taken in a good sense, a good device. The man invents purposes of good; and all his schemes, plans, and devices, have for their object God's glory and the good of man: he deviseth liberal things, and by liberal things he shall stand. Coverdale translates, "Then shall COUNSEL preserve thee." A very good translation, much better than the present.
