Commentary on Proverbs 4:6
Don't forsake wisdom, for she will preserve you; love her, and she will keep you. Wisdom is personified as protective companion. The Hebrew 'shamar' (keep/preserve) indicates guarding from harm. This verse establishes reciprocal relationship: love wisdom, and she guards you. Wisdom isn't merely abstract knowledge but living relationship requiring affection and commitment. Those who love wisdom receive its protective benefits.
