Proverbs 10:22

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it - i:e., with His blessing (Psalms 127:2, note, 'So He giveth (wealth) to His beloved, in sleep' - i:e., without anxiety on their part). "It" is emphatic. "It," and it alone, is the true source of wealth: industry and skill are only means. The blessing of the Lord (including His favour) teaches not only how to obtain and how to keep, but also how cheerfully to use riches (Ecclesiastes 2:24; Ecclesiastes 2:26; Ecclesiastes 3:13; Ecclesiastes 5:17). God addeth to the objects of His blessing exemption from the "sorrow" - i:e., anxiety, harass [ `etseb (H6089)] - such as the covetous experience. Solomon received His riches by the special "blessing" of the Lord, without even asking (1 Kings 3:13). So Isaac (Genesis 26:12).
