Commentary
To know . . . instruction--literally, "for knowing," that is, such is the design of these writings. wisdom--or the use of the best means for the best ends, is generally employed in this book for true piety. instruction--discipline, by which men are trained. to perceive--literally, "for perceiving," the design (as above) understanding--that is, words which enable one to discern good and evil.
