Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
We are here quickened to the study of wisdom by the consideration both of the pleasure and the profit of it. 1. It will be very pleasant. We eat honey because it is sweet to the taste, and upon that account we call it good, especially that which runs first from the honey-comb.

The church of God, which is the righteous man's dwelling place, and where he desires and delights to dwell; or his own dwelling house; it may be rendered, "at the dwelling of the righteous" (p); lay not wait at his door to observe who goes in and out, and what is done there...
reward--literally, "after part," the proper result (compare Pro 23:18; Psa 37:37-38).
