The verses around Proverbs 3:13.
11My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
12For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Verse explanation
This calls whoever manages to gain wisdom “happy” — meaning truly happy, not a passing compliment — saying this is one of the greatest achievements possible in life.
From the Proverbs 3 study in Bible in Stories.
