So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
Clarke's Proverbs 3:4 Bible Commentary
So shalt thou find favor - Thou shalt be acceptable to God, and thou shalt enjoy a sense of his approbation.
And good understanding - Men shall weigh thy character and conduct; and by this appreciate thy motives, and give thee credit for sincerity and uprightness. Though religion is frequently persecuted, and religious people suffer at first where they are not fully known; yet a truly religious and benevolent character will in general be prized wherever it is well known. The envy of men is a proof of the excellence of that which they envy.
Barnes's Proverbs 3:4 Bible Commentary
Compare Luke 2:52. These are the two conditions of true human growth.
Wesley's Proverbs 3:4 Bible Commentary
3:4 Understanding - Whereby to know thy duty, and to discern between good and evil. Of God - Grace or favour with God, and that understanding which is good in God's sight.
