George Leo Haydock, on Prov 8:31

“Playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men.”

“Men. God saw that all was good, but delighted most in his own image. (Menochius) — He prefers man before all other corporeal creatures. (Worthington) — To him alone below he has granted understanding, and a soul capable of virtue. The Son has also assumed our nature, Baruch iii. 37.”
