Proverbs 3:18

a tree of life The tree of life, Genesis 2:3 is referred to again in this Book (Proverbs 11:30; Proverbs 13:12; Proverbs 15:4), and only besides in the Bible in Revelation 2:7; Revelation 22:2. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was a tree of death: "in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die." The tree of Wisdom is a tree of life.

Proverbs 3:19. And the wisdom which is thus profitable to man, is none other than that by which God erected the firm fabric of earth and heaven, and furnished it with such storehouses of force and fertility, as "the waters that are under, and the waters that are above the firmament."

In our present Hebrew text a new paragraph begins here, and here only in this chapter. But, as has been said, the argument is in reality continuous throughout.
