잠언 8:33의 미드라쉬

(Devarim, Ibid. 2) "My taking shall drip as the rain": "Taking" is Torah, viz. (Proverbs 4:2) "For a goodly taking have I given to you; do not forsake My Torah"; and (Ibid. 8:10) "Take My mussar (chastisement), and not silver," and "mussar" is nothing other than words of Torah, viz. (Ibid. 1:8) "Hear, my son, the mussar of your Father," and (Ibid. 8:33) "Hear mussar and grow wise," and (Ibid. 4:13) "Hold fast to mussar; do not let it go." And it is written (Hoshea 14:3) "Take words with you and return to the L-rd," and "words" is nothing other than words of Torah, viz. (Devarim 5:19) "These words the L-rd spoke to all of your congregation."
