Wesley's Notes for Proverbs 3:12

3:10 So - This is not the way to diminish thy estate, but rather to increase it.

3:11 Despise not - Either by making light of it, or not being duly affected with it; or by accounting it an unnecessary thing: but rather esteem it a privilege and favour from God. Weary - Neither think it tedious or hard, but endure it with patience and chearfulness.

3:13 Findeth - Which supposes his diligent searching for it.
