Proverbs 8: 1-36 Interlude 2: Wisdom’s Self-Praise to the Gullible Woman Wisdom Addresses the Naïve
I.
Introduction vs. 1-10 Kitchen says, “Let us not miss the fact stated here: wisdom is ever speaking, calling, seeking, inviting, and demanding our attention! God is not silent. He does not sit by quietly, letting the world pass by until someone stops and gives Him attention.

Our failure and foolishness is not for lack of His voice, but for lack of our listening.”
