Proverbs 8:17 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I love them that love me; I do not despise their love though it be but a small and inconsiderable thing to me but I kindly accept it, and will recompense it with my love and favour. That seek me early, i.e. with sincere affection, and great diligence, and above all other persons or things in the world; which he mentions as the effect and evidence of their love; for otherwise all men pretend to love God.

Proverbs 8:17

17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
