¹³ Well is hym that findeth wysdome, and getteth vnderstandyng: ¹⁴ For the marchaundise of it, is better then the marchaundise of siluer, and the gayne therof [is better] then golde. ¹⁵ She is more worth then pretious stones: and all the thinges that thou canst desire, are not to be compared vnto her. ¹⁶ In her right hande is long life, and in her left hande riches and honour. ¹⁷ Her wayes are pleasaunt wayes, and all her pathes are peaceable. ¹⁸ She is a tree of lyfe to them that lay holde vpon her: and blessed is he that kepeth her fast. ¹⁹ With wysdome hath the Lorde layde the foundation of the earth, and thorow vnderstanding hath he stablished the heauens. ²⁰ Thorow his knowledge the deapthes are broken vp, and the cloudes droppe downe the deawe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Length of days [is] in her right hand,.... Wisdom is here represented as a queen, as indeed she is above all kings and queens; see Proverbs 8:15; holding in one hand, instead of a sceptre, "length of days"; and in the other, instead of a globe, riches and honour: the allusion is thought by some on this clause to be to an ancient custom of numbering things, and the ages of men, by the hand and fingers, beginning with the left hand, and when they came to a hundred went to the right z; so that in that might be truly said to be "length of days", few arriving to that number: or rather the reference is to what Solomon received of the Lord, who, asking wisdom, had not that only, but a long life, and riches and honour; see 1 Kings 3:11. Some think that only temporal blessings are here meant, and, because health and long life are preferable to wealth and honour, the former are said to be in the right hand, and the latter in the left; but seeing in the preceding verses the advantages of wisdom are superior to silver, gold, and precious stones, it can hardly be thought that she should be represented as only having temporal blessings in her hands to bestow on her followers. Others are of opinion that spiritual and eternal blessings are the right hand ones, being the principal; and temporal blessings are the left hand ones, as being the less valuable, Matthew 6:33; but to me they seem all of one sort, all spiritual and eternal ones, even those of the left hand, by comparing this passage with Proverbs 8:18. By "length of days" is meant "length of days for ever and ever", Psalms 21:4; or eternal life, a life of vision or enjoyment of God; a life of perfect knowledge, holiness, and pleasure; being free from all the imperfections, difficulties, and distresses of the present one, and which will last for ever; this is in the hand of Christ, not the promise and grant of it only, but the thing itself, in consequence of his asking it of his Father: and which he has in a covenant way, and so has a right and power to bestow it: and it being in his hands shows both the valuableness and the security and safety of it; and also that it is to be had from him, and is in his gift, and in no other; and is a pure gift of his grace; wherefore happy is the man that finds Wisdom, or Christ, since he finds and has eternal life in him;

[and] in her left hand riches and honour; by "riches" are meant not temporal riches, for these are not always to the wise, nor to the children of Wisdom, nor of Christ; and all that have these are not happy, nor are they durable: but spiritual riches are intended, the riches of grace; of pardoning, justifying, and sanctifying grace, and of all supplies of grace; and also the riches of glory, which are solid and satisfying, immense and unsearchable, lasting and durable: and by "honour" is designed not the honour which comes from men, or the honour of this world; for such who find Christ, and are possessed of him, and profess him, have but a small share of this, being, generally speaking, accounted the faith and offscouring of the world; but yet they are the children of God, and so have that name which is better than to be the sons and daughters of the greatest monarch; they are the spouse of Christ, and so his queen that stands at his right hand in gold of Ophir; they are made kings and priests unto God, and shall reign with Christ for evermore; this honour have all the saints, and is what is in the hands of Christ to give, and does give, to all that believe in him: or "glory" a, as the word signifies; the glory of God, eternal glory; this as well as grace is Christ's gift, Psalms 84:11.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 3:16. Length of days is in her right hand — A wicked man shortens his days by excesses; a righteous man prolongs his by temperance.

In her left hand riches and honour. — That is, her hands are full of the choicest benefits. There is nothing to be understood here by the right hand in preference to the left.
