| Geneva Study Bible He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 7. sound wisdom-literally, "substance," opposed to what is fictitious. According to the context, this may be assistance, as here corresponding with buckler-or safety, or wisdom, which procures it (compare Pr 3:21; 8:14; 18:1; Job 6:13; 12:13). layeth up-provides, ever ready. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 2:1-9 Those who earnestly seek heavenly wisdom, will never complain that they have lost their labour; and the freeness of the gift does not do away the necessity of our diligence, Joh 6:27. Let them seek, and they shall find it; let them ask, and it shall be given them. Observe who are thus favoured. They are the righteous, on whom the image of God is renewed, which consists in righteousness. If we depend upon God, and seek to him for wisdom, he will enable us to keep the paths of judgment. |
