Catholic 1849 · Haydock’s Catholic Bible Commentary, Proverbs 8:1

George Leo Haydock, on Prov 8:1

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Prov 8:1 · Douay-Rheims
“Doth not wisdom cry aloud, and prudence put forth her voice?”
On this verse:
“Voice. Men are wanting to themselves: they cannot plead ignorance. (Calmet) — Wisdom stands on high in the Catholic Church inviting all to virtue and happiness. (Worthington) — Some explain this of the light which is communicated to men; but the Fathers apply it to Jesus Christ, some of the expressions regarding his divine, and others his human nature, Ecclesiasticus xxiv.”
