Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 8:2

"On the top of high places by the way, Where the paths meet, she standeth;" — Proverbs 8:2 (ASV)

She standeth in the top of high places.— i.e., in the higher parts of the city, where her voice will best be heard.

By the way...—She goes everywhere where she may find the greatest concourse of people, God not being willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). So the apostles made large centres of population such as Antioch, Ephesus, or Corinth, the headquarters of their missionary enterprise.
