“My son, if you receive my words, and store my commands within you, inclining your ear to wisdom, and applying your mind to reason; if you appeal to intelligence, and lift up your voice to reason; if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures – then will you understand reverence for the Lord, and will discover the knowledge of God; for the Lord gives wisdom, out of His mouth comes knowledge and reason; He has help in store for the upright, He is a shield to those who walk honestly; He guards the paths of justice, and protects the way of His pious ones; then will you understand rectitude and justice, and will keep to every good course; for when wisdom finds a welcome within you, and knowledge becomes a pleasure to you, discretion will watch over you, reason will guard you – saving you from the way of evil men, from men who use perverse speech; who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in ways of darkness; who delight in doing evil, exult in wanton wickedness’ who are crooked in all their ways, and tortuous in their paths – saving you from the wife of another, from the adulteress who plies you with smooth words, who forsakes the companion of her youth, and forgets her pledge to God; for her paths lead down to death, and her tracks descend to the Shades; none who go to her come back again, or reach the paths of life – helping you to walk in the way of good men, and to keep to the paths of the righteous; for the upright will live in the land, and the honest will remain in it; while the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the faithless will be rooted out of it

Hi all,
I’m studying the part «find» with an online dictionary, and it says an example ;

I found the business to pay. (infinitive)
I found the business pay. (bare infinitive)

the meaning is : the business proved profitable.

I never see those sentences above. and what I thought is right are ;

I found the business profitable. (adjective)
I found the business paying. (gerund)
I found that the business pays.

can I get some advice on this??

Thank you all.

p.s. I found some opinions that Dictionary is wrong, and other say the use of «find» on dictionary is still right.

    Then I would suggest you use the three dictionaries – two Random House and one Collins – that are easily accessible through our Search box.

    I found the business to pay. (infinitive) – this might possibly be useful, but I’ve never heard it or used it.
    I found the business pay. (bare infinitive) – I would have to think a long time before I could find a use for this, and when I did, I’m sure I could come up with something better almost immediately.

    I would never use either of your first two suggestions. Stick to:

    • I found the business (to be) profitable.
    • I found that the business pays.

    Why use such a dictionary? Those two sentences are not viable examples of how to use “find” / found.

    I find other dictionaries are better.

    I agree with Keith’s suggestions, but would just add that the verb could be «paid», depending on the context.
    «I found that the business paid (well)».
