Contextual Overview

1 Doth not wysdome crye? doth not vnderstanding put foorth her voyce? 2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the place of the pathes: 3 She cryeth at the gates of the citie, at the entrye of the doores: 4 It is you O ye men [saith she] whom I call, vnto the chyldren of men do I lyft vp my voyce. 5 Take heede vnto knowledge O ye ignoraunt, be ye wise in heart O ye fooles. 6 Geue eare, for I wyll speake of great matters, and open my lippes to tell thinges that be right: 7 For my mouth shall be talking of the trueth, and my lippes abhorre vngodlynesse. 8 All the wordes of my mouth are righteous, there is no frowardnes nor falsehood in them. 9 They are all playne to suche as wyll vnderstande, and right to them that finde knowledge. 10 Receaue my doctrine and not siluer, and knowledge rather then fine golde:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They [are] all plain to him that understandeth,.... Whose understanding is enlightened by the Spirit of God; who is a spiritual man, that has a discerning, and can judge of spiritual things: as for the carnal man, let him have what natural knowledge or wisdom he will, he cannot know these things; for they are spiritually discerned, and can only be discerned by spiritual men. The Bible is a sealed book to others, learned or unlearned; the mysteries or doctrines of the Gospel are hid in parables from such; but those to whom Christ has given an understanding to know him, these know them, and they are plain unto them: for though there are some things hard to he understood in the Scriptures, as in Paul's epistles, and some sublime truths in the Gospel; yet those which are necessary to salvation are easily understood; that faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save the chief of sinners, is a very plain one;

and right to them that find knowledge; a spiritual and experimental knowledge of Christ and his truths. The Targum is,

"to them who desire knowledge;''

and so the Syriac version; that seek for it heartily and diligently, in a right way, in the use of proper means, under the direction and by the assistance of the Spirit of God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Words of the ideal Wisdom, which find their highest fulfillment in that of the Incarnate Word. Compare Luke 4:22; Matthew 11:19.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 8:9. They are all plain — נכחים nechochim, straight forward, over against every man, level to every capacity. This is true of all that concerns the salvation of the soul.

To them that find knowledge. — When a man gets the knowledge of himself, then he sees all the threatenings of God to be right. When he obtains the knowledge of GOD in Christ, then he finds that all the promises of God are right - yea and amen.
