Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 21. - That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; יֵשׁ (yesh), ὕπαρξις, "real, valuable possessions." Those who love Wisdom will walk in her path, follow her leading, and therefore, doing God's will, will be blessed with success. Such will lay up treasure in heaven, will provide bags which wax not old, will be preparing for "an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away" (Matthew 6:20; Luke 12:33; 1 Peter 1:4). The LXX. here inserts a paragraph as a kind of introduction to the important section which follows: "If I declare unto you the things which daily befall, I will remember to recount the things of eternity;" i.e. thus far I have spoken of the advantages derived from Wisdom in daily circumstances; now I proceed to narrate her origin and her doings from all eternity. But the addition appears awkward, and is probably not now in its original position.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance.--The work which each one by my help shall do will be stored up for him in heaven (Matthew 6:20), it will be as "gold tried in the fire" (Revelation 3:18), which will abide the trial of "the day" (1Corinthians 3:13).
