Creator/Wisdom
(Prov. 8, etc.)

Editor's Note: The Bible exhorts readers to get wisdom, a priceless commodity greater than gold or other jewels. It also speaks of Christ as the Logos (Word) by whom and through whom all things were created (see John 1). Proverbs 8 personifies Wisdom as being at God's side at creation, delighting in his works; many scholars consider this a description of Christ in his role as creator at the Father's side. 

Prov. 8

 22 “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of his work,[the first of his acts of old. 23 Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. 24 When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water.  25 Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth, 26 before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world. 

27 When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, 28 when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, 29 when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,30 when I was beside him, like a master workman, I was constantly at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, 31 rejoicing in his whole world, and delighting in mankind.
