WISDOM TO BE ACCEPTED (Prv.1:23-33)
Some interpreters believe that this address as the language of the Son of God under the name of wisdom, while others believe that wisdom as the Divine attribute specially employed in acts of counsel and admonition is personified in this discourse and represents GOD. Either way this address is extremely impressive and evangelical.
I Wisdom Calls Aloud in the Streets
In verses 20-21, wisdom is personified to that of the feminine Gender, and one who is making a public invitation to those who are willing to receive wisdom. First and foremost it is seen that God in his great mercy desires us to be wise and as such makes a cry for all to hear. “Wisdom cries aloud in the streets”, according to strong’s concordance, the Hebrew word that is used for calls aloud, is the word (Raw-Nan) which means to make a stridulous sound, or to Shout, in the streets; this is a place where everyone can hear. The cry is loudly made in a place where everyone can loudly and clearly hear the call and this is deliberately done so as to give everyone a chance to attain this precious virtue that will save from death.
In the gate way of the streets, this is done so that all who enter will hear and is no doubt an ancient strategy to get the attention of people and was, I believe a good strategy for advertising something. This allegorical piece of literature painted of wisdom in verses 21,22 clearly reveals implications of the opportunity that all have to shear in the wisdom of God that it made available.
