Proverbs 4:5
"Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Get wisdom, get understanding,.... Not only moral and political wisdom and understanding, but that which is spiritual and evangelical; Christ, and the knowledge of him; he being the only happy man that has

an interest in him, and is possessed of him by faith, which is the meaning of getting him; See Gill on Pro 3:13 ; by which it appears, that what Solomon had before delivered, and afterwards repeats and urges, was the same his father David, that wise, great, and good man, taught him; and which he mentions, the more to recommend the getting of wisdom and understanding to others; forget it not; when gotten, keep it in remembrance; be continually meditating on Wisdom, or Christ, his glories and excellencies; the fulness of grace and truth in him; the blessings of goodness which come by him; the great use and profit of having and enjoying him; neither decline from the words of my mouth; the above instructions, and all others he gave unto him.
