Proverbs 1:23

“reproof--implying conviction deserving it (compare Joh 16:8, Margin). pour out--abundantly impart. my spirit--whether of wisdom personified, or of Christ, a divine agent.”

“The teaching of Divine Wisdom is essentially the same as that of the Divine Word John 7:38-39. “Turning,” repentance and conversion, this is what she calls the simple to. The promise of the Spirit is also like His John 14:26. And with the spirit there are to be also the “words” of Wisdom.
