Gill's Notes on the Bible
So shall thou find favour,.... Or "grace" i; the grace of God, and larger measures of it; as Noah did, Genesis 6:8; which are communicated to men when in the way of their duty: or good will, esteem, and respect, among men; as Joseph had with Potiphar, and the keeper of the prison, Genesis 39:4;
and good understanding in the sight of God and man; as Christ, as man, had in the sight of both, Luke 2:52; that is, to be taken notice of, regarded, and approved by both. Some render it "good success" k; prosperity in things temporal and spiritual; see Psalms 111:10. There is something lovely, and of good report, in a close attention to the doctrines and duties of religion; which make a man amiable in the sight of others, and which is followed with a blessing from the Lord.
i חן "gratiam", Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version, &c. k שכל טוב "successum optimum", Junius & Tremellius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Compare Luke 2:52. These are the two conditions of true human growth.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 3:4. So shalt thou find favour — Thou shalt be acceptable to God, and thou shalt enjoy a sense of his approbation.
And good understanding — Men shall weigh thy character and conduct; and by this appreciate thy motives, and give thee credit for sincerity and uprightness. Though religion is frequently persecuted, and religious people suffer at first where they are not fully known; yet a truly religious and benevolent character will in general be prized wherever it is well known. The envy of men is a proof of the excellence of that which they envy.
