Proverbs 8:14–16

Of the Messiah, the Personal Wisdom.

THE RICHNESS OF WISDOM’S GIFTS. — V. 14. Counsel is Mine, that basic knowledge, the essential wisdom, which is able to give real advice, and sound wisdom, that is, penetration, which goes to the bottom of things and tests them for their soundness and strength; I am Understanding; I have strength, that is, the energy necessary to put wisdom in action.

V. 15. By Me kings reign, making use of wisdom in their rule, and princes decree justice, for its full and proper administration is possible only by means of the knowledge from on high. V. 16. By Me princes rule and nobles, even all the judges of the earth, the officials of the government of every degree.
