Wesley's Notes

2:4 Seek her - With unwearied diligence and earnest desire and patient expectation.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

4. There must be earnest prayer and effort.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

2:1-9 Those who earnestly seek heavenly wisdom, will never complain that they have lost their labour; and the freeness of the gift does not do away the necessity of our diligence, Joh 6:27. Let them seek, and they shall find it; let them ask, and it shall be given them. Observe who are thus favoured. They are the righteous, on whom the image of God is renewed, which consists in righteousness. If we depend upon God, and seek to him for wisdom, he will enable us to keep the paths of judgment.


Job 3:21 Who long for death, but there is none, And dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
Proverbs 3:14 For her profit is better than the profit of silver And her gain better than fine gold.
Matthew 13:44 "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. (NASB ©1995)
