Guiding Questions: Proverbs 8

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Proverbs 8 offers an interesting study in contrast with Proverbs 7. Explain. (Note the gender.)
What is the scope of Wisdom’s appeal in Proverbs 8:4?
Is there a prerequisite for attaining wisdom?
What is the scope of Wisdom’s power in Proverbs 8:12-16?
Doesn’t the promise in Proverbs 8:21 appear to contradict Proverbs 8:10-11, or does it supplement their message?
Compare Proverbs 8:22-31 with Genesis 1. Is there a contradiction here or an expansion of the story of Creation?
What is the point of Proverbs 8:32-36 which read like an epilogue?
