Proverbs 8 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Christ one with the Father, in the creation of the world, and rejoicing in his work for the salvation of man.

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? (Pr 8:32-36)
