Proverbs 19:8 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

He that getteth wisdom. — Literally, heart. For that “wisdom,” or “knowledge,” that begins with the “fear of the Lord” (see above on Proverbs 1:7), and ends with loving Him, is not a matter of intellect only, but of the heart also — i.e., the will and affections.

Proverbs 19:8

8 He that getteth wisdomc loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
