2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and {a} hide my commandments with thee;
(a) That is, keep them in your heart.
2:1 Hide - Lay them up in thy heart with care, as men do their choicest treasures.
2:1-9 Those who earnestly seek heavenly wisdom, will never complain that they have lost their labour; and the freeness of the gift does not do away the necessity of our diligence, Joh 6:27. Let them seek, and they shall find it; let them ask, and it shall be given them. Observe who are thus favoured. They are the righteous, on whom the image of God is renewed, which consists in righteousness. If we depend upon God, and seek to him for wisdom, he will enable us to keep the paths of judgment.
