Commentary on Proverbs 5:2
Guarding discretion and preserving knowledge requires attentiveness to wisdom. The Hebrew 'shamar' (keep/observe) and 'natsar' (preserve/guard) emphasize protective custody. Discretion and knowledge won't maintain themselves - they require vigilant defense against loss. This verse warns that wisdom, once gained, can be lost through neglect. Continuous effort preserves what careless inattention squanders.
