Proverbs 2:10
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will delight your soul.
BSB
ASV
For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;
KJV
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
Another picture of the results of living in the fear of the Lord. Not that to which it leads a man, but that from which it saves him, is brought into view. Notice also that it is one thing for wisdom to find entrance into the soul, another to be welcomed as a “pleasant” guest.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
