Wisdom Defined and Introduced in Person.
THE INVITATION OF WISDOM. — V. 28. Then shall they call upon Me, praying for wisdom to meet the emergency in which they would find themselves, but I will not answer; they shall seek Me early, with the rising of the dawn, with great diligence, but they shall not find Me, compare Amos 8, 11-13.
V. 29. For that they hated knowledge, when it was offered to them, and did not choose the fear of the Lord, the basis and source of all true wisdom; v. 30. they would none of My counsel, did not yield to its kind insistence; they despised all My reproof, v. 31. therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, experiencing the evil consequences of their foolish and wicked action, and be filled with their own devices, get their fill of their evil planning even to the point where it sickens them.
