This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
Ver. 35. For whoso findeth me, findeth life.] Lest any man should hold it too hard a task to wait at wisdom’s gates - as princes’ guards, or as the Levites did in the temple - she tells them what they shall have for so doing.
And shall obtain favour.] Which is better than life. God’s favour is no empty favour; it is not like the winter’s sun, that casts a goodly countenance when it shines, but gives little heat or comfort. As air lights not without the sun, nor wood heats without fire, so neither can anything yield comfort without God’s favour.
