Gill's Notes on the Bible

For the commandment [is] a lamp,.... The law of God is a lamp or candle to see to work by and to walk by; it enlightens the eyes and directs the feet, and makes working more pleasant, and walking more comfortable; and indeed wit, bout it a man knows not rightly what to do or where he should walk, or where he is walking; see Psalms 119:105;

and the law [is] light; it makes things clear and manifest, what is right and what is wrong; it enlightens the eyes of the understanding, whereby persons come to see both their sin and their duty; and it directs them to avoid the one and do the other; see Psalms 19:8;

and reproofs of instruction [are] the way life; kind reproofs given by parents agreeable to the word of God, which instruct what should be shunned and what should be performed, when attended to, put men in the way of an honourable and useful life; and are the means of preserving them from a scandalous and useless one.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare Psalms 119:105.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 6:23. For the commandment is a lamp — It illuminates our path. It shows us how we should walk and praise God.

And the law is light — A general light, showing the nature and will of GOD, and the interest and duty of MAN.

And reproofs of instruction — Or, that instruction which reproves us for our sins and errors leads us into the way of life.
