**CHAPTER 4**
*1. Solomon’s training ([Proverbs 4:1-9](../../../kjv/proverbs/4/1-9)* *)*
*2. Hear, O my son: Receive my sayings ([Proverbs 4:10-19](../../../kjv/proverbs/4/10-19)* *)*
*3. My son, attend to my words. ([Proverbs 4:20-27](../../../kjv/proverbs/4/20-27)* *)*
[Proverbs 4:1-9](../../../kjv/proverbs/4/1-9) . This passage shows the early training which Solomon received and he passeth on the instructions. It is said that these verses formed a model for many Puritan homes in England and the Scotland of the covenant. He was the beloved one, his father’s true son. Note the different exhortation, about wisdom: Forget it not; forsake her not; love her; exalt her. Then the promises: She shall preserve thee; she shall keep thee; she shall promote thee; she gives honor; an ornament of grace for the head and a crown of glory. If we take wisdom and make it the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word, what blessed food for the soul we will enjoy!
[Proverbs 4:10-19](../../../kjv/proverbs/4/10-19) . Here we find instructions for Solomon and all the godly with the corresponding promises. Then there is the warning concerning the path of the wicked and a contrast between the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked.
*But the way of the righteous is as the dawn of light*
*That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.*
This is a blessed statement. As soon as we accept the true wisdom, the Lord Jesus Christ, we enter upon a way which faceth the east, the sunrise. The light of the coming dawn illumines that path, and at some time the perfect day will break when all shadows flee away.
[Proverbs 4:20-27](../../../kjv/proverbs/4/20-27) . Instructions to receive and to obey the words of wisdom are the contents of this address. The eye is never to be taken off from the words of the Lord; they are to be kept in the midst of the heart. How important to listen to such counsel, even for us His children:
*Keep thy heart with all diligence;*
*For out of it are the issues of life.*
