Wisdom

WEBKJVBSBESVNKJVNASBNLT

The wisdom by which God made the world — and the Wisdom made flesh.

Proverbs personifies Wisdom as present with God before creation, the master craftsman at his side; Job asks where wisdom can be found and answers that it belongs to God alone; Ecclesiastes tests every earthly path and finds it wanting. The New Testament gathers the thread into a person: Christ, "the wisdom of God," "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." To seek wisdom, in the end, is to seek him.

    Proverbs personifies Wisdom beside God as the master craftsman when the world was made.

    But where can wisdom be found, and where does understanding dwell?

    1 Corinthians 1:24
