John Trapp on Proverbs 3:22

Verſ. 22. So ſhall they bee life unto thy ſoul] For by theſe, men live, and this is the ſpirit of my life, ſaith Hezekiah, Iſa. 38.16. Even what God hath ſpoken, and done, verſ. 15. A godly man differs from a wicked, as much as a living man from a dead carkaſs. The wicked are ſtark dead, and ſtone cold. The Saints alſo want heat ſometimes, but they are ſoon made hot again; becauſe there is life of ſoul in them, as Charcoal is quickly kindled, becauſe it hath been in the fire.

And grace unto thy neck] Or to thy throat, that is, to thy words uttered through the throat. See the Note on chap. 1.9.
