Context of Proverbs 3:10
8If you do that, it will make you healthy and strong. 9Show that you respect the Lord in the way that you use your money. Offer the first part of the harvest from your farm to him. If you do that, you will store more food than you need for yourself. You will have more wine than you can drink. 11My child, if the Lord warns you that you have done something wrong, accept it. Do not be upset if he warns you. 12He is doing it because he loves you. When a father loves his son very much, he warns him when he does something wrong.

This fullness of outward blessings does not exclude the thought of the “chastening” Proverbs 3:11, without which the discipline of life would be incomplete. “Presses” are the vats of a Roman vineyard, into which the wine flowed through pipe from the wine-press.Read the comment
