Barnes's Proverbs 3:13 Bible Commentary
The first beatitude of the Proverbs introduces a new lesson. "Getteth understanding," literally as in the margin, probably in the sense of "drawing forth from God's store, from the experience of life" (as in Proverbs 8:35; Proverbs 18:22). The preciousness of wisdom is dwelt on here, not the use to be made of it.
Wesley's Proverbs 3:13 Bible Commentary
3:13 Findeth - Which supposes his diligent searching for it.
