SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:20

¶ El entendido en la palabra, hallará el bien; y bienaventurado el que confía en el SEÑOR.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 20. He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good , etc.] That frames and composes his
discourse well on any subject he takes in hand; or manages his affairs prudently and discreetly, in which he is concerned; or that wisely attends to the affair of humility, as Aben Ezra: or rather to the word, that is, to the word of God; is not a careless, negligent, unconcerned hearer of the word, but a diligent and attentive one; whose heart is opened by the Spirit of God to attend to what is spoken in it; who lays it up in his heart, and makes it the rule of his conduct in life: such a man finds good things; things which are for his profit, edification, and instruction; good truths, good doctrines, good counsel and advice, good directions and instructions; promises of good things, things for his present comfort and future happiness; and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy [is] he ; not to his own wisdom; nor in his own strength; nor in his riches, nor righteousness; nor in the favour of men, no, not of princes; but in the Lord, and in his Word; he shall want no good thing, he is kept in perfect peace; he is in the utmost safety, is like Mount Zion, that can never be removed, ( Jeremiah 17:7 Isaiah 26:3 Psalm 84:11,12 125:1).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 19 -
Humility, though it exposes to contempt in the world, is much bette than high-spiritedness, which makes God an enemy. He that understand God's word shall find good.
