This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_8:18 Riches and honour [are] with me; [yea], durable riches and righteousness.
Ver. 18. Riches and honour are with me.] I come not unaccompanied, but bring with me that which is well worth having. The muses, though Jupiter’s daughters, and well deserving, yet are said to have had no suitors, because they had no portions. Our Henry VIII, when he died, gave his two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, but ten thousand pounds apiece. {a} But this lady is largely endowed, and yet - such is men’s dulness - she is put to solicit suitors, by setting forth her great wealth. {See Trapp on "Mat_6:33"}
{a} England’s Elisabeth.
