Divine Wisdom is conceived as a person
(Job 28:12-27)

Pr 8:23, 27).

The order of the world was originated and is maintained by the
breathing forth (Spirit) of Wisdom, unfathomable and unpurchasable by
man. In
Job 28:28,

man, is stated.
understanding--insight into the plan of the divine government.
