The search worth everything: if thou seek wisdom as silver and search for her as for hid treasures, 'then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God — for Jehovah giveth wisdom.' He is a shield to them that walk in integrity. Wisdom delivers from the man who speaks perverse things and from the strange woman that flattereth with her words, whose house sinketh down unto death. Walk in the way of good men; the perfect shall dwell in the land.
Drawn from Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, Commentary Critical and Explanatory, Matthew Henry, Complete Commentary and John Wesley, Notes on the Old Testament.
