Proverbios 8:4-36 RVR1960

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Proverbs 8:1-36

The section containing the instructions of wisdom ends with two discourses, the first of which is the great call of wisdom. This takes up and deals more minutely with the call in the earlier part of the book. It opens with an announcement that wisdom is making its appeal everywhere amid the busy activities of life. Then follows her call. This is, first, an appeal to men to attend (verses Pro 8:4-11 ). This they should do because wisdom speaks excellent things, and speaks in righteousness.... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 8:14

STRONG SON OF GOD!‘I am understanding; I have strength.’ Proverbs 8:14 Consider (1) the self-assertion of Christ; (2) the bearing of that self-assertion on certain difficulties of our day. I. The self-assertion of Christ is exhibited in three ways:—(1) Christ claims a boundless power of satisfying human wants. (2) Christ claims for Himself the most transcendent ideals. (3) Christ claims the possession of absolute truth by the very form and mode as well as by the substance of His teaching. II.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 8:1-4

1). Wisdom Calls On Men To Hear Her (Proverbs 8:1-4 ). Wisdom had been defined for us earlier in the Prologue. She is based on ‘the fear of YHWH’ (Proverbs 1:29; Proverbs 2:5; Proverbs 9:10). She is given by God (Proverbs 2:6). She brings men to the knowledge of God (Proverbs 2:5). She is closely connected with the chastening of YHWH (Proverbs 3:11). And in what she says she reveals herself as the mouthpiece of YHWH (Proverbs 1:23-33). Indeed YHWH, by wisdom, knowledge and understanding,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 8:1-36

Prologue To The Book (Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18 ). It was common throughout the 3rd to the 1st millenniums BC for collections of wisdom saying to have a prologue preparing for the ‘sayings’ that would follow. Those sayings would then be introduced by a subheading. Proverbs thus follows the usual precedent in having such a prologue in Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 9:18, followed by general sayings in Proverbs 10:1 ff headed by a subheading (Proverbs 10:1). It was also common for such a... read more

2). Wisdom Calls On The Naive And On Fools To Pay Heed To Her Words Because Her Instruction Is Both True And Valuable (Proverbs 8:5-13 ). Wisdom’s words come especially to the naive and to ‘fools’ (compare Proverbs 1:22), that is to those who are still grappling with life without having any agenda, often at a loose end (compare Proverbs 7:7), and at the behest of any voice that speaks to them, and those who, while believing vaguely in God, live their lives apart from His will and direction... read more

3). Wisdom Hates Evil Attitudes And Behaviour But Enables Just Government From Those Who Love Her (Proverbs 8:13-17 ). This subsection which majors on wisdom’s role in ensuring just government where she is accepted, commences with an indication of YHWH’s attitude towards it and the impression that all rulers are to rule in the light of it. The fear of YHWH results in hating evil. And this includes hating pride, arrogance, behaving in an evil way, and speaking with a perverse mouth. These were... read more

4). Wisdom Gives Riches And Honour Both Physically And Spiritually To Those Who Love Her, And Enables Men To Walk Rightly (Proverbs 8:18-21 ). Wisdom does not just enable rulers. She also gives durable riches, honour and righteousness to all those who respond to her. Part of the lesson is that those who behave wisely will, in general, prosper. They will be hardworking (contrast Proverbs 6:6-11), abstemious and careful (consider Proverbs 6:1-5). They will not, for example, waste their... read more

5) Wisdom Was With God In Creation And Rejoices In The Ongoing Of His Creation (Proverbs 8:22-31 ). Lest we have any doubt about what wisdom Solomon is speaking about he now makes it very clear (as he has indeed in he had in Proverbs 3:19-20, compare Proverbs 2:5-11). It is the wisdom and understanding that God used when He created and fashioned the heavens and the earth (Proverbs 3:19-20). It is God’s wisdom. And this Wisdom, which was necessarily present from eternity (God could never be... read more

6). Wisdom Brings Blessing On Those Who Hear Her For Through Her They Find Life And Come Into The Favour Of God (Proverbs 8:32-36 ). Because her delight was with the sons of men Wisdom calls on men to listen to what she says, and that is because she wants them to be blessed by God. And she assures them that those who find her will find life, and will obtain YHWH’s favour. For she is His wisdom, and therefore to follow her is to walk in the fear of YHWH. And that is why those who sin against... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 8:1-36

Proverbs 8. Wisdom Speaks in her own Person.— This chapter forms at once the nucleus and the climax of this section of the book. The series of addresses on practical wisdom is fitly closed by a profounder presentation of wisdom as the moving principle in the ways of God. It reinforces the practical maxims of Proverbs 8:1-Judges : with the fundamental principle that the wise man is in harmony with God. Its date probably fixes the date of the whole section (see Introduction, and for a fuller... read more
