I Proverbs 8 wisdom is personified by a woman beckoning to all who would be wise. She stands in the lane, at the intersection where everyone comes, inviting people to listen.
Jesus was like that too. He went everywhere the people were. Jesus took all the questions and tests and returned wisdom.
That is what makes me think of think. Jesus was so wise when the Pharisees came with a denarius and asked whether they should pay taxes. When the Sadduccees came to ask a common question about the woman who was widowed successively and marriage seven brothers. He answered their questions much more wisely than they deserved.
Jesus lived with prudence and discretion (Proverbs 8:12). Jesus also hated evil as wisdom does.
Chapter 8 goes on to say wisdom was always (8:23). She was there at the creation to set up the earth. That is what we know about Jesus. He was with God and he was God. Wisdom too is from God.
Jesus told the truth. He modeled truth, wisdom, and discernment.
As with Jesus, those who find wisdom, find life (8:35).
Yes Jesus is like wisdom personified in Proverbs 8.
