Proverbs is about wisdom and understanding, which are "enduring" riches.

18 Riches and honor are with me,
Enduring riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold,
And my revenue than choice silver.

34 Blessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.

Such a good chapter,
12 “I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment.
I know where to discover knowledge and discernment.

Yes! i'll take it! I pray that i find God's wisdom more and more precious and delightful. It literally is like being fed spiritual manna when we read and embrace it, isn't it?

Just another thought....

when we love God, it BLESSES His heart, and delights Him. When we bless Him, consequently WE are blessed, and it's sorta' as a "peripheral" thing, because we're not even looking for it or expecting it, cuz we're just focused on LOVING and ADORING Him. Then, behind the scenes, He SURPRISES us with blessings.

How delightful is THAT???!!!

Proverbs 8:

What is interesting about this verse, is how it is so clear about what God hates. And that is "evil". All throughout His Word He repeats this. for us, as believers, if we are not very very careful, and unless we also hate evil, we may find ourselves "compromising" with it, leaving room for the enemy to "nudge" a tolerance of evil more and more in our hearts, minds, and souls, until it isn't "evil" that we hate, but instead, hating God's very "essence": His "holy-ness".

yes, I agree, and it so good to think seriously about it.

I have heard it said that it is possible to interchange Wisdom and Jesus,
in which case the following makes even more of an impact, don't you think?

Proverbs 8:

God delights in us, seeking Him.

Amen. Those seeking God, in His Word, and thus His wisdom, early, WILL find BOTH.

For He LOVES to fill us with His joy, peace, celebration, and wisdom and discernment.

He will ALWAYS answer with more than we expect.

We will ALWAYS find Him in His Word.

Precious.

And when we SEEK God diligently in His WORD, He WILL do this:

"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." ~Jeremiah 33:3
