Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 8:4

"Unto you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of men." — Proverbs 8:4 (ASV)

O men — i.e., “great ones;” “sons of man” are those of inferior rank; compare the Hebrew of Isaiah 2:9, where the same words are translated “great man,” and “mean man.” Compare the generality of the invitation of Psalms 49:2.
