All commentators unanimously agree that the 'Wisdom' in this verse is not merely an abstract attribute but a direct reference to the Son of God, Jesus Christ. They highlight this as an Old Testament anticipation of New Testament truths found in John 1:3 and Colossians 1:16, where Christ is identified as the agent of creation.
