Proverbs 1:20-23 Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:… Some take it for illumination only, and gifts of knowledge. So it agrees well with the words that follow, "I will make known My words unto you." If ye hearken to My reproof I will tell you more of My mind. Ye shall know more of heavenly truths. Others take it for sanctifying gifts of the Spirit. I. THEY THAT WILL TURN TO GOD SHALL NOT WANT THE PLENTIFUL HELP OF GOD'S SPIRIT TO DIRECT THEM. They will pray for God's Spirit. Encourage men to turn to God, for then they shall have His Spirit for their instructor, sanctifier, and comforter. II. THE SPIRIT AND THE WORD MUST GO TOGETHER TO GUIDE. Both are joined in this verse. A lying spirit it must needs be that contradicts God's plain Word. (Francis Taylor.)
