"She hath sent forth her maidens; She crieth upon the highest places of the city:" — Proverbs 9:3 (ASV)
She hath sent forth her maidens. — Wisdom, being here described under the figure of a woman, is properly represented as attended by her maidens, whom she sends out to summon the guests. But the King (Matthew 22:0) dispatches His servants for the same work, namely, His prophets and wise men and scribes (Matthew 23:34), whom He sends out from age to age as His messengers.
She crieth upon the highest places of the city— so that all may hear. (Compare our Lord’s command to proclaim His message upon the housetops, Matthew 10:27).
