Proverbs 19:14 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers, &c. Parents may bestow on their children houses, and lands, and riches; but a prudent wife is from the Lord Is vouchsafed to a man by the singular providence of God, who is the only searcher and ruler of hearts, exactly discerning who are prudent or pious, (with regard to which the judgments even of wise men are frequently mistaken,) and inclining the hearts of persons one toward another. So that when such a wife falls to the lot of any one, he should look upon it as a singular favour of God to him, for which he ought to be very thankful.
