Proverbs 1:2

To know wisdom, and instruction:

To know. This is the design of these parables. (Calmet) --- They tend to instruct both the unexperienced and the wise, ver. 5. There are three sorts of wisdom: the divine, which is God himself; (chap. 3:16.) the supernatural, which is his gift, to lead us into all virtue; and the worldly, which is mixed with error, etc. (Worthington) (Wisdom 7:25.)
