Proverbs 8:35 For whoever finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD. Some man might say, "Why should we watch so much for Wisdom? What shall we get by so much labour? Lest any should refuse and despise Wisdom, as terrified with the mention of so much pains in getting, Wisdom promises large rewards of life and favour from God. Heavy things grow light, when great rewards are propounded. And if any man be inquisitive to know what is that blessedness promised to such as take pains to get Wisdom, she tells them that their diligence in seeking her shall be recompensed in a most copious reward. As if she had said, "They that find Me shall not obtain some vulgar matter of little weight, but an incomparable treasure of all good things — to wit, life, which all men naturally desire, and eternal life, which only God can give, and all that a man can justly desire; and so shall he be fully happy in God's favour." (Francis Taylor, B. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.WEB: For whoever finds me, finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh. |
