Proverbs 3:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 3:15

Compare all

13 ^aHappy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;

14 ^aFor her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.

15 She is more precious than rubies,
And ^aall the things you may desire cannot compare with her.

16 ^aLength of days is in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.

17 ^aHer ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.

18 She is ^aa tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who¹ retain her.

19 ^aThe Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
By understanding He established the heavens;

20 By His knowledge the depths were ^abroken up,
And clouds drop down the dew.
