John Gill Commentary Proverbs 5:1

"My son, attend unto my wisdom; Incline thine ear to my understanding:" — Proverbs 5:1 (ASV)

My son, attend unto my wisdom
Not the wisdom of the world or of the flesh, worldly wisdom and carnal policy; but spiritual and evangelical wisdom; such as one that is greater than Solomon has in him, even Christ; "for in him are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge", (Colossians 2:3) ; and which he teaches and communicates to others, even all proper instructions for conduct in life: the Gospel, and each of the doctrines of it, which are "the wisdom of God in a mystery", (1 Corinthians 2:7) : these every child of God, and disciple of Christ, ought carefully and diligently to attend unto;

[and] bow your ear to my understanding:
listen attentively to those things which I have, and give an understanding of, even things divine and spiritual; the understanding of which is of the utmost moment and importance.
