Proverbs 8
"And as Jesus grew up, he increased in wisdom and in favour with God and people." (Luke 2:52)
Proverbs 8 personifies Wisdom, and makes clear statements about Wisdom's role in Creation:
I was there when he set the heavens in place,
when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
when he established the clouds above
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
when he gave the sea its boundary
so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
Then I was constantly at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in humankind. (Proverbs 8:27-31)
and delighting in humankind. (Proverbs 8:27-31)
