27 When he established the heavens, I was there;
when he set a circle on the surface of the deep, 28 when he established the clouds above,
when the springs of the deep became strong, 29 when he gave to the sea its boundary,
that the waters should not violate his commandment,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth; 30 then I was the craftsman by his side.
I was a delight day by day,
always rejoicing before him, 31 Rejoicing in his whole world.
My delight was with the sons of men.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 8:27-31

Commentary on Proverbs 8:22-31

(Read Proverbs 8:22-31)

The Son of God declares himself to have been engaged in the creation of the world. How able, how fit is the Son of God to be the Saviour of the world, who was the Creator of it! The Son of God was ordained, before the world, to that great work. Does he delight in saving wretched sinners, and shall not we delight in his salvation?
