Commentary on Proverbs 2:4
The mining metaphor illustrates the strenuous effort required to obtain wisdom. Silver mining in ancient times demanded dangerous, exhausting labor with no guaranteed reward. Yet the Reformed perspective maintains that even this diligent seeking is enabled by God's grace, not meritorious in itself. The treasure found is God's gift.
