Commentary on Proverbs 8:27

Theological / Devotional

I was there. Whether the preparation of the heavens is regarded as referring to the separation of the waters below and above to form the firmament (Gen. 1:6-8) or to the making of the starry heavens (John 1:3; Col. 1:16, 17), wisdom was there.

Compass. Literally, “circle.”
