Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. The concluding inference from what went before, Since the benefits of wisdom are so great, happy is he who, whether by prayer, diligent application, or chastening, attains to it. On "findeth," cf. Matthew 13:44; note, Proverbs 2:4. Solomon often returns to the praises of wisdom, as being the main theme of the book. "Getteth:" the Hebrew verb is literally to flow forth х puwq (H6329)]: hence, to make to flow; to draw forth; to get, (cf. margin) So "bring forth," (Psalms 144:13; Proverbs 8:35; margin)
