Proverbi 3:4

4 E tu troverai grazia e buon senno Appo Iddio, ed appo gli uomini.

Proverbi 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 3:4

So shall thou find favour
Or "grace" ^F9; the grace of God, and larger measures of it; as Noah did, ( Genesis 6:8 ) ; which are communicated to men when in the way of their duty: or good will, esteem, and respect, among men; as Joseph had with Potiphar, and the keeper of the prison, ( Genesis 39:4 Genesis 39:21 ) ; and good understanding in the sight of God and man;
as Christ, as man, had in the sight of both, ( Luke 2:52 ) ; that is, to be taken notice of, regarded, and approved by both. Some render it "good success" ^F11; prosperity in things temporal and spiritual; see ( Psalms 111:10 ) . There is something lovely, and of good report, in a close attention to the doctrines and duties of religion; which make a man amiable in the sight of others, and which is followed with a blessing from the Lord.

Proverbi 3:4 In-Context

2 Perchè ti aggiungeranno lunghezza di giorni, Ed anni di vita, e prosperità.

3 Benignità e verità non ti abbandoneranno; Legateli in su la gola, scrivili in su la tavola del tuo cuore;

4 E tu troverai grazia e buon senno Appo Iddio, ed appo gli uomini.

5 Confidati nel Signore con tutto il tuo cuore; E non appoggiarti in su la tua prudenza.

6 Riconoscilo in tutte le tue vie, Ed egli addirizzerà i tuoi sentieri.
