Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Proverbs 8:1-36

Chapter 8In chapter 8 we have an ode to wisdom. Wisdom is personified. And because of the personification of wisdom in this chapter, some have even likened wisdom unto Jesus Christ. "For in Him are hid all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" ( Colossians 2:3 ). So there are analogies that can definitely be drawn. Because Christ is the soul, the heart of wisdom. "In Him all the treasures of wisdom." So there are definite analogies that can be made to wisdom and to Jesus Christ, and there... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 8:1-36

Proverbs 8:1 . Doth not Wisdom cry? This woman is the reverse of the harlot, in the preseding chapter. She represents true religion clothed in every form of grace and glory: Christ, the Word and Wisdom of God. See on chap. 3. Proverbs 8:3 . She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city. The gate was the usual place where the elders sat at proper times, and heard complaints. It is probable that the prophets often addressed the people in the area of the gate.

This is the mainspring which sets and keeps all the machinery of superstition going. It was a maxim of heathen antiquity, that “Fear made God.” To fear retribution is not to hate sin. It is a solemn suggestion that ever the religion of dark, unrenewed... read more

Pro 8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. Ver. 12.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 8:13

Pro 8:13 The fear of the LORD [is] to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Ver. 13. The fear of the Lord. ] Which is a high point of heavenly wisdom, Pro 1:7 to the praise whereof this therefore appertaineth.
