Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Proverbs 2:7

_ _ sound wisdom — literally, “substance,” opposed to what is fictitious. According to the context, this may be assistance, as here corresponding with

_ _ buckler — or safety, or wisdom, which procures it (compare Proverbs 3:21; Proverbs 8:14; Proverbs 18:1; Job 6:13; Job 12:13).

_ _ layeth up — provides, ever ready.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Proverbs 2:1-9.
