She hath sent forth her maidens— The maidens of Wisdom, says Calmet, are the apostles and first preachers of the gospel, who invite all people to the study of wisdom, to the faith of Jesus Christ, and to the practice of holiness and virtue. Upon the highest places of the city, we may read, Upon the tops of the highest places, &c. Calmet supposes, that the sacred writer refers here to the tops of the houses, conformably to what our Saviour says, Matthew 10:27. What ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the house-tops.
