Proverbs 18:22 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The sense seems to require, “Whoso findeth a good wife,” as in some Chaldee manuscripts; but the proverb writer may be looking at marriage in its ideal aspect, and sees in every such union the hands of God joining together man and woman for their mutual good. The Septuagint adds “He who casts out a good wife, casts away that which is good: but he that keepeth an adulteress is foolish and ungodly.”

Proverbs 18:22

22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
