The Book of Proverbs teaches us in many ways the most excellent, important, and perfect science of all, the wisdom, the knowledge of the correct means to live. And in a metaphorical way, the Book of Proverbs speaks of a personification or incarnation of wisdom; it should be noted that in Christianity this incarnation of wisdom is Lord Jesus when he affirmed: "I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved" John 10:9.
And in this way, a very ingenious way, the wisdom in the Book of Proverbs speaks in the first person. She, the wisdom of God, appears as beautiful, intelligent, prudent, and benevolent, and whoever chooses her as a companion is blessed, joyful, and happy. How wonderful is wisdom, leave this famous book as a great teaching, but to reject her is to follow the path of foolishness and madness. She, the wisdom, forcefully calls men to live with her from the heights on the roads, and at the gates of the cities; wisdom is there like a beautiful wife waiting for men, but men have the freedom to choose her or not.
And the Book of Proverbs tells us something more and very interesting, the wisdom is with the Lord before the whole universe was formed by his word, with these words the book explains this spiritual truth:
"The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works,
before his deeds of old;
I was formed long ages ago,
at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;
before the mountains were settled in place,
before the hills, I was given birth,
before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth" Proverbs 8:22-26.
For all this the Book of Proverbs leaves us a beautiful quote as a conclusion: "Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD" Proverbs 8:34-35.
