Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 3:19

"Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding he established the heavens." — Proverbs 3:19 (ASV)

Until now, Wisdom has been thought of in relation to humankind. Now the question arises: What is she in relation to God? The answer is that the creative act implies a Divine Wisdom, through which the Divine will acts.

This thought, developed in Proverbs 8, is the first link in the chain which connects this “Wisdom” with the Divine Word, the Logos of John’s Gospel. Compare Psalms 33:6; John 1:3. The words of the writer of the Proverbs take their place among the proofs of the dogmatic statements of the Nicene Creed.
