Commentary on Proverbs 6:22
Wisdom will guide when you walk, watch when you sleep, speak when you wake. The comprehensive temporal coverage (walking, sleeping, waking) indicates constant companionship. The Hebrew 'nachah' (lead/guide), 'shamar' (watch/guard), and 'siychah' (speak/meditate) describe active benefits. Wisdom isn't passive knowledge but dynamic companion providing direction, protection, and conversation. This anticipates the Holy Spirit's promised companionship in the New Covenant.
