Prov 8

Wisdom is calling, begging for us to have understanding of what is right and true.

For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her
- 11

I, wisdom dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion. - 12

all we have to do is seek and listen. and we will find this powerful knowledge.

By me kings reign and rulers make laws that are just - 15

Wisdom hates evil, pride, and arrogance (13) and makes fearless leaders. It wants to help guide in the right direction; wants to share it's thoughts, words, plans...

I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me - 17

I also think this is really cool. Wisdom was here before it all began. As it is written, "she" was beside the Creator the entire time. "before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth" (25)

and she loves Creation.

Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind. - 30,31

Wisdom inspires creation and does not keep creative thoughts away from us; does not want us to live simply by right and wrong but also by enjoying the beautiful gift of creation.
