Proverbs 24:4

4 and by knowledge its rooms are filled with all kinds of costly and pleasant possessions.

Proverbs 24:4 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 24:4

And by knowledge shalt the chambers be filled with all
precious and pleasant riches.
] That are both of worth, value, and usefulness, and for ornament and delight; the more private and retired parts of a man's dwelling house, as well as his shops, warehouses, barns, and granaries, shall be filled with all kind of valuable substance, through his knowledge in improving trade or husbandry, in which he is concerned. This may be understood spiritually, of the fulness which the church has from Christ, and of those unsearchable riches of his she receives from him; and of those treasures of wisdom and knowledge, which the chambers of the soul of a believer are filled with by him; and of all the riches put into them, which are both precious and pleasant; such as precious promises, pleasant doctrines, the valuable truths of the Gospel, and blessings of grace.
