Proverbs 8:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Sound wisdom: all solid, and substantial, and useful, yea essential wisdom, is natural and essential to me, for the word properly signifies essence. I am understanding, or, my nature and essence, as was now said. Or, I am the author of understanding; as 1 Thessalonians 17:3. This is life eternal, i.e. this is the cause or means of it. I have strength courage and resolution to execute all my counsels, and to conquer all difficulties.

Proverbs 8:14

14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
