Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 8:31

"Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men." — Proverbs 8:31 (ASV)

Wisdom rejoices yet more in the world as inhabited by God’s rational creatures . Giving joy and delight to God, she finds her delight among the sons of men.

These words, like the rest, are like an unconscious prophecy fulfilled in the Divine Word, in whom were hid all the treasures of Wisdom. Compare the marginal reference: in Him the Father was well pleased; and yet His joy also is fulfilled, not in the glory of the material universe, but in His work among the sons of men.
