{David
to Solomon}
1``My
son, if you accept my doctrines {'emer},
and
treasure/'store up' my commandments . . .
2``If
you make your ear attentive
to
wisdom/'bible doctrine applied to experience' {chokmah},
and apply your 'right lobe'/heart to discernment {tabuwn} . . .
3``If
you call to doctrine
{biynah - 'doctrine in the right lobe'},
and cry aloud to discernment {tabuwn} . . .
4``If
you seek her as you do silver,
{doctrine - the primary Hebrew word for doctrine is famine so 'she'
is used often for doctrine the analogy is the male being the
aggressor and seeking out the female- doctrine.}
and search for her {doctrine} as for treasures . . .
5``Then
you shall perceive/understand {biyn}
the
respect/'awe of' Jehovah/God
{an idiom for being Occupied in your thinking with the God and His
Word}
and attain/find the knowledge {da`ath} of 'Elohiym/Godhead.
6``For
Jehovah/God gives
wisdom/'application
of doctrine' {chokmah}.
{nathan - the verb of grace - He gives it without 'strings'}
Knowledge and understanding are 'out of His Mouth' {peh}.
7``He
'lays up'/'treasures up' 'sound wisdom' {tuwshiyah}
for
the righteous/upright {yashar}.
He is a shield to those who 'Walk righteously'/'live blamelessly'.
8``He guards the paths of justice . . .

the Way
of
'those loyal to Him'/'His faithful ones' {chaciyd}.

righteousness/justice
{tsedeq - referring to your general motus operendi in life}
'divine
institutions'/judgment
{mishpat - referring to the 4 divine institutions and how they
operate}
'but
always with integrity'/'and equity'
{meyshar - means personal integrity - your Word should be your
Bond} . . .
every good Path/'course of living {as unto God}'.
10~~For
doctrine/wisdom/chokmah
{divine viewpoint from the intake of the Word}
will
enter into your 'right lobe'/heart,
and
knowledge {of doctrine}
will
be pleasant to your soul.
11-14~~Application {of doctrine} will guard you.
Understanding {of doctrine} will watch over you . . . 12~~
To deliver you from the Way of evil . . .
From
the man who speaks distorted things
{anything that is against the divine viewpoint expressed in the
Word of God} . . .13~~
Who leave the Ways of Righteousness . . .
To wander in the Ways of darkness/'dark-out of the soul' . . . 14~~
Who delight in doing evil . . .
And find happiness in the distortions of evil.
15``
Whose ways . . .{are} crooked and distorted in their paths.
{do not follow the righteous Way of God - as expressed in the
principals of bible doctrine}
16``She
{knowledge of bible doctrine through study of His Word}
will
save/deliver you from the 'strange woman' . . .
{in context here is 'false doctrine' - but has physical application as
well}
even
from the stranger
'who
flatters with her words'/'whose talk is smooth'.
{Note:
A person without doctrine in their soul usually is arrogant
and
self-centered. A person with false doctrine easily seduces this type
of person to follow them. The Phallic cult was one that used
beautiful women to seduce men into 'sex in conjunction with idolatry'.}
17``Who forsakes the companion/guide { 'alluwph} of her youth . . .
and
forgets the covenant/contract {b@riyth}
of
her 'Elohiym/Godhead.
{Note: This 'lady of false doctrine' leaves the teaching of her youth, forsakes God, and follows other ideas or gods - or really any substitute for God and His teaching.}
18``Her house sinks down to Death . . .
And her paths/course leads to the dead/shades/'spirits of the dead' {rapha'}.
19``All
that go to her {teachers of false doctrine}
can
not return . . .
Neither
can they find again the paths of life.
{referring to coming back to God and His Truth and Walking in the
Righteous Ways of God - they become deluded. They believe the
lie and reject God. Each time they reject God, scare tissue goes
on their souls, until they no longer have the ability to believe the
Truth - then they have hardness of heart and are ready to die the
sin unto death.}
20``So, Walk/follow in the Way of the good . . .
And
keep/guard {shamar} the paths of the righteous/just.
{what you consider valuable you guard - so value the doctrine in
your soul and keep it always}
21``For the upright will inhabit the land/earth {'erets} . . .
And
the 'spiritually mature'/'those who demonstrate integrity'
{tamiym - understanding and applying divine viewpoint to
experiences in life}
shall
remain in it.
22``While
the wicked
shall
vanish/'be cut off' from the land/earth . . .
And the treacherous {bagad} shall be rooted out of it.
