Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 1:4

4. To give subtilty to the simple , to the young man knowledge and discretion.

Or rather, Prudence, as this word is used, Prov. 3. 21. & 5. 2. & 8. 5, 12. which elsewhere is taken in an evil sense for craft or subtilty.

Such as want wisdom, and are easily deceived by others, and therefore most need this blessing.

Which wants both Experience and Self-government.
