"Sages reserve the laudatory exclamation blessed ("asre [1]) for people who experience life optimally, as the Creator intended." [1]5 [source]
Long life, riches, and honor ( Proverbs 3:16) were the rewards God promised the godly under the Old Covenant. The tree of life figure ( Proverbs 3:18) implies that wisdom is the source and sustainer of a long and beneficial life (cf. Proverbs 3:16). [3] The point is that by pursuing the way of Wisdom of Solomon , a person can obtain the best things God has to offer him or her. [source][source][source]
"It"s good to have the things money can buy, provided you don"t lose the things money can"t buy. What good is an expensive house if there"s no happy home within it? Happiness, pleasantness, and peace aren"t the guaranteed by-products of financial success, but they are guaranteed to the person who lives by God"s wisdom. Wisdom becomes a "tree of life" to the believer who takes hold of her, and this is a foretaste of heaven ( Revelation 22:1-2)." [4][source]
In Proverbs 3:21-35 we can see the quality of love in the wise son. Proverbs 3:27-30 deal with neighborliness. The situation in view in Proverbs 3:27-28 is one in which someone owes money, not one in which giving is an act of charity (cf. Leviticus 19:13). The point is: pay your debts promptly. [1]6 We could apply Proverbs 3:30 by taking it as a warning against hauling someone into court on flimsy accusations. [6][source]
"The Book of Proverbs is the best manual you"ll find on people skills, because it was given to us by the God who made us, the God who can teach us what we need to know about human relationships, whether it"s marriage, the family, the neighborhood, the Job , or our wider circle of friends and acquaintances. If we learn and practice God"s wisdom as presented in Proverbs , we"ll find ourselves improving in people skills and enjoying life much more." [7][source]Proverbs 3:31-35 warn against the temptation to resort to violence when we deal with neighbors. One must decide if he or she wants to be odious to God or be His intimate friend ( Proverbs 3:32). That is the issue in choosing the ways of the wicked or those of the upright. James 4:6 and 1 Peter 5:5 quote the Septuagint version of Proverbs 3:34. Proverbs 3:35 probably means that fools display dishonor because that is what they get for their choices-in contrast to the wise, who get honor. [source][source][source]
