Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 3:13

13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

Notwithstanding all his afflictions.

Which supposeth his diligent searching for it, expressed, Chap. 2. 4.

Heb. that draweth out. Which expression implies two things, 1. that Man hath it not naturally in himself but must have it from another, even from God and his word. 2. that men should labour for it, as those do that dig and draw forth Metals out of the Earth.
