To give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 1:4 Go To Proverbs 1
Jerome
AD 420
To confess that we are imperfect; that we have not yet laid hold of it; and that we have not yet obtained it. This is true wisdom in man: to know that he is imperfect; and, if I may so say, the perfection of all the just, living in the flesh, is imperfect. Whence, also, we read in Proverbs: “To understand true justice.” For unless there were also false justice, the justice of God would never be referred to as true justice. .
