King Solomon wrote Proverbs 4:23. It is a continuation from Proverbs 1, which starts with the introduction, “The Proverbs of Solomon, Son of David, King of Israel.” Solomon was a man of great wisdom and is the wisest man who ever lived. He got his wisdom through a dream encounter with God, who asked him what he wanted.
Solomon did not ask for riches, although he did indeed receive riches. Above all Solomon wanted wisdom, he also wanted to serve God. He wanted to make wise and good decisions. He wrote many of the proverbs in the Bible
Proverb 4.23 is about guarding our heart from corruption and those thoughts and actions that lead to us to sin.
Corruption comes through what we watch, listen to, do, and sins we commit. If we let in ungodly things, we become ungodly. If we let in godly things, we become more godly.
