Proverbs 8:12–13

Of the Messiah, the Personal Wisdom.

THE RICHNESS OF WISDOM’S GIFTS. — V. 12. I, Wisdom, dwell with prudence, skill in making use of every situation in life in the proper manner is His constant companion, and find out knowledge of witty inventions, of sagacious counsels, He Himself having this ability by virtue of His essential Godhead and teaching it in His Word. V. 13. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil, or “the fear of Jehovah hates wickedness,” that being the result and outflow of faith; pride and arrogancy, a proud and supercilious behavior, and the evil way, wickedness in any form, and the froward mouth, crafty and malicious speech, do I hate.
