Proverbs 3:18

Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: And happy is every one that retaineth her." — Proverbs 3:18 (ASV)

A tree of life. —Evidently an allusion to Genesis 2:3. No mention is made of it except in Proverbs (Proverbs 11:30; Proverbs 13:12; Proverbs 15:4) and Revelation (Revelation 2:7; Revelation 22:2).
