Commentary on Proverbs 8:17

Theological / Devotional

That love me. Christ said that He and His Father would love those who loved Him (John 14:21). The problem of the love of an unchanging God apparently turning to hatred of those who reject or who hate Him is dealt with in previous chapters (Prov. 1:26-31 ; 6:16-19).

Seek me early. This means to seek so diligently that one rises early in the morning to press the search. Because of the distractions of worldly affairs, and the deceitfulness of the human heart, persevering diligence is required to maintain a saving relationship with true wisdom and with God.
