Proverbs 3:19 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Hereto Wisdom has been thought of in relation to men. Now the question comes, What is she in relation to God? and the answer is, that the creative act implies a Divine Wisdom, through which the Divine will acts. This thought, developed in Proverbs 8, is the first link in the chain which connects this “Wisdom” with the Divine Word, the Logos of John’s Gospel. Compare Psalms 33:6; John 1:3. The words of the writer of the Proverbs take their place among the proofs of the dogmatic statements of the Nicene Creed.

Proverbs 3:19

19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he establishedd the heavens.
