32 In contrast to the word for “hate” (שָׂנֵא, shaneh) the verb “love” (אָהֵב, ’ahev) includes within it the idea of choosing spontaneously. So in this line loving and seeking point up the means of finding wisdom.
33 The two synonyms, “than gold, than fine gold” probably form a hendiadys here to express “the very finest gold.”
34 The language of the text with “fruit” and “ingathering” is the language of the harvest—what the crops yield. So the figure is hypocatastasis, comparing what wisdom produces to such crops.
35 The infinitive construct expressing the purpose of the preceding “walk” in the way of righteousness. These verses say that wisdom is always on the way of righteousness for the purposes of bestowing the same to those who find her. If sin is involved, then wisdom has not been followed.
36 The Piel imperfect continues the verbal idea that the infinitive began in the parallel colon even though it does not have the vav on the form.
37 The adds at the end of this verse: “If I declare to you the things of daily occurrence, I will remember to recount the things of old.”
