SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:33
Escuchad al castigo, y sed sabios; y no lo menospreciéis.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. Hear instruction , etc.] The instruction of wisdom, the Gospel of Christ; which instructs men in things relating to God the Father; as that he is the God and Father of his people, the God of all grace, the giver and sender of Christ, and all good things by him; in things respecting Christ, his person, office, grace, and righteousness; in things that appertain to the Spirit of God, his deity, personality, and operations of grace on the souls of men; in the knowledge of themselves, their impurity, impotence, and unrighteousness; and in the way of salvation by Jesus Christ, and therefore to be hearkened to; and be wise ; this is the way to be wise to that which is good, both as to the knowledge and practice of it; to be wise unto salvation, and with respect to everlasting things and a future state; and the Gospel instruction teaches men to behave wisely, to walk in wisdom towards them that are without; and refuse it not ; for this is not to be wise, but to act the part of fools; and such as do so despise their own souls, show that they have no care of them, or concern for their eternal welfare, ( Proverbs 1:7 15:32); for, if this is rejected, there is no escaping eternal damnation, ( Hebrews 2:3).
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 __________________________________________________________________
