This passage has two sections. The first (14:20-27) describes a careful man who seeks wisdom. The image shows a hunter who patiently spies, follows tracks, camps, and sets nets until he reaches his goal. This man is called happy, blessed (14:20); the second (15:1-10) explains the benefits of seeking and gaining wisdom. The first benefit is that one gains knowledge and the ability to follow the Law of the Lord; this is the foundation for understanding the fruits and benefits of wisdom. Using images of nourishment and food, wisdom, personified as a generous woman, offers bread and drink to those who seek her. This behavior of wisdom is only for those who truly search for her.
