SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:2
En los altos cabezos, junto al camino, a las encrucijadas de las veredas se para;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 8:2
Verse 2. In the places of the paths. ] hbxn tbytn tyb beith nethiboth nitstsabah, "The constituted house of the paths." Does not this mean the house of public worship? the tabernacle or temple, which stands a center to the surrounding villages, the paths from all the parts leading to and terminating at it? In such a place, where the holy word of God is read or preached, there in a particular manner does wisdom cry, and understanding lift up her voice. There are the warnings, the precepts, and the promises of eternal truth; there the bread of God is broken to his children, and thither they that will may come and take the water of life freely.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. She standeth in the top of high places , etc.] To be both seen and heard, for which reason Christ went up into a mountain and preached, ( Matthew 5:1); by the way ; the roadside, to instruct and direct passengers as they go along, to show them the right way, and caution them against taking wrong ways; so did Christ, ( Matthew 16:6 22:16); in the places of the paths ; or, “between the paths” f210 ; where more ways than one met together, and so difficult to know which was the right path to take; here Christ stands in the ministry of the word to direct, and says, “this is the way, walk ye in it”, ( Isaiah 30:21); and as there are many ways which are proposed to men to walk in, some of open profaneness and impiety, and others that have a show of religion and devotion, but both lead men wrong; the ministers of Christ show, and he by them, the way of salvation, and how to avoid such as lead to destruction, ( Acts 16:17).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - The will of God is made known by the works of creation, and by the consciences of men, but more clearly by Moses and the prophets. The chief difficulty is to get men to attend to instruction. Yet attentio to the words of Christ, will guide the most ignorant into savin knowledge of the truth. Where there is an understanding heart, an willingness to receive the truth in love, wisdom is valued above silve and gold.
