30Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

We have here the application of Wisdom's discourse; the design and tendency of it is to bring us all into an entire subjection to the laws of religion, to make us wise and good, not to fill our heads with speculations, or our tongues with disputes, but to rectify what is amiss in our hearts and lives.
— Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on verses 32-36
