Proverbs 4:8

Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

Exalt her, and she shall promote thee; she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. Not only "get," "keep," and "love" her; but also "exalt her." We are apt to think less of those things which we have, however precious, after the novelty has worn off. Beware of this fasting as to religion. Religion richly repays in kind all that we can do to "embrace her." She exalts them who exalt her (); and gives them fresh reason for exalting her (; , "Them that honour me I will honour").
