Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
Declare - manifest her-namely, in His works (Psalms 19:1-2). So the approval bestowed by the Creator on His works (Genesis 1:10; Genesis 1:31); cf. the "rejoicing" of wisdom at the same (Proverbs 8:30; the former clause of which Umbreit translates 'I was the skillful artificer by his side;' Proverbs 8:31).
Prepared - not created, because wisdom is from everlasting (Proverbs 8:1-36); but 'established' Her as Governor of the world.
Searched out - examined her works, to see whether she was adequate to the task of governing the world (Maurer).
