Commentary
To receive . . . of wisdom--For receiving that discipline which discretion imparts. The Hebrew for "wisdom" differs from that of Pro 1:2, and denotes rather discreet counsel. Compare the opposite traits of the fool (Pro 16:22). justice . . . equity--all the attributes of one upright in all his relations to God and man.
