SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:32
¶ Ahora, pues, hijos, oídme; y bienaventurados los que guardaren mis caminos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 8:32
Verse 32. Now therefore ] Since I delight so much in conveying instruction; since I have the happiness of the children of Adam so much at heart, hearken unto me; and this is for your own interest, for blessed are they who keep my ways.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 32. Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children , etc.] Children of his and his Father, with whom his delights were; predestinated to the adoption of children; children of the covenant and promise, given to him as such in the covenant; for whom he became man, suffered and died, to gather together regenerated ones, by which they appear to be the children of God: these Wisdom here addresses in the most affectionate manner; Christ, having finished the account and description of himself, reassumes his former exhortation, ( Proverbs 8:5-10); and enforces it by the several particulars in the above description. From the consideration of his wisdom, riches, eternity, nearness to God, and his delights with men, he exhorts them to “hearken” to him, to his voice in the Gospel, and to what he says there; such who see themselves lost and perishing, the hungry and thirsty, the naked and weary, the disconsolate and afflicted, the poor and indigent; and also to his voice in his precepts and commands, to embrace his doctrines, and submit to his ordinances; for blessed [are they that] keep my ways ; it is a happiness to be in the ways of Christ, to be kept in them, and to keep them; Christ has promised and does vouchsafe his presence in them; there is a pleasure enjoyed in observing them; and though not for keeping, yet in keeping Christ’s commands, there is great reward, ( Psalm 19:11).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 32-36 - Surely we should hearken to Christ's voice with the readiness of children. Let us all be wise, and not refuse such mercy. Blessed ar those who hear the Saviour's voice, and wait on him with daily reading meditation, and prayer. The children of the world find time for vai amusements, without neglecting what they deem the one thing needful Does it not show contempt of Wisdom's instructions, when people professing godliness, seek excuses for neglecting the means of grace Christ is Wisdom, and he is Life to all believers; nor can we obtai God's favour, unless we find Christ, and are found in him. Those wh offend Christ deceive themselves; sin is a wrong to the soul. Sinner die because they will die, which justifies God when he judges __________________________________________________________________
