This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Ver. 17. But understanding what] Drawing your knowledge into practice, as Eph_5:10. For "the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding," Job_28:28 : where wisdom (proper to the understanding) is ascribed to the will, because practice should be joined to knowledge. Hence also, Ecc_10:2; "A wise man’s heart is at his right hand," because his heart teacheth his hand to put things in practice.
