Study 5 From The Book of Proverbs Is: Proverbs
8
1. Contrast the description of
wisdom with that of the woman in 7:5-27. How do they differ in speech, in
conduct, in what they offer, and in the goal to which they lead their
followers?
2. What is said of wisdom in
verses 22-31 concerning (a) its existence from the beginning; (b) its part in
creation; (c) its communion with God; (d) its interest in man? Consider how in
all these respects there is here a foreshadowing of Christ. Cf., e.g.’ (a) Jn. 17:5; (b) Jn. 1:1-3;
Col. 1:15-17; (c) Mt. 11:27; (d) Heb. 2:17, 18.
3. What similar but greater gifts
than those which wisdom offers in 8:32-36 are offered in Christ? Cf., e.g., Mt. 11:29; Lk. 11:28; Jn.
14:21; 17:2, 3:3:36.
