In the New Testament Jesus is the Wisdom and Word of God.
Wisdom has credentials. Wisdom is clearly an attribute not a person.
The wisdom in Proverbs 8 refers to wisdom that is an attribute of God himself going beyond understanding and right decisions.
Wisdom is not God, although when portrayed as a person she acts and speaks as God does.
Wisdom invites all man and woman to change their path of life. She calls the foolish and the simple because they need her most.
Wisdom is available to all but acquired only by those who love her and seek her.
Wisdom pleads with her hearers, begging them to follow her and learn how to take their knowledge about God and apply it to their lives in a practical and successful way.
Wisdom invites all who wish to sit at her banquet, to eat of the fruits of wisdom, to forsake foolishness, and to go in the way of life and understanding.

still chasing after her.
Wisdom is so much like God, available to all but only few will seek. Sadly. Great read.
