The use and end of the proverbs. An exhortation to flee the company of the wicked: and to hearken to the voice of wisdom.
The wisdom of God is heavenly and given to him whose heart is right with God.
“He who knows the wisdom of God, receives from Him also instruction, and learns by it the mysteries of the Word; and they who know the true heavenly wisdom will easily understand the words of these mysteries. Wherefore he says: “To understand the difficulties of words;” for things spoken in strange language by the Holy Spirit become intelligible to those who have their hearts right with God.” (4) -St. Hippolytus of Rome
Evil is constantly battling against Christ and His Church in this world.
“There is one text in Proverbs so far from being obscure that its relationship to Christ and his possession, the church, can be grasped without any such trouble. Wicked men are speaking: ‘Let us unjustly hide away in the earth the just man, let us swallow him up alive like hell. Let us abolish his memory from the earth, let us lay hands upon his precious possession.’ This is very like what the Lord Jesus himself, in one of the Gospel parables, puts into the mouths of the wicked vinedressers: ‘This is the heir; come let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.’” (4) -St. Augustine
