Commentary on Proverbs 3:13

• Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Proverbs 3:13-20: Solomon had pressed us earnestly to seek diligently for wisdom (Pro 2:1, etc.), and had assured us that we should succeed in our sincere and constant pursuits. But the question is, What shall we get by it when we have found it?
• John Gill (Reformed Baptist), Exposition of the Old and New Testaments on Proverbs 3:13: Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,.... Some connect these words with the preceding; as if the sense was, a good man, though he is chastened by the Lord, yet is a happy man; not only because his chastenings are in love and for good, but because he improves in spiritual knowledge and understanding by them; see Psa 94:12.
• Jamieson-Fausset-Brown (Reformed), Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible on Proverbs 3:13: findeth--literally, "reaches," or "obtains by seeking." getteth--literally, "draws out," as metals by digging.
• Keil & Delitzsch (Lutheran), Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on Proverbs 3:13-14: Pro 3:13-14 Such submission to God, the All-wise, the All-directing, who loves us with fatherly affection, is wisdom, and such wisdom is above all treasures. 13 Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, And the man who has gained understanding; 14 For better is her acquisition than the acquisition of silver, And her gain than fine gold.
