Proverbs 1:25 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Proverbs 1:25

23 Turn at my rebuke;
Surely ^aI will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.

24 ^aBecause I have called and you refused,
I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,

25 Because you ^adisdained all my counsel,
And would have none of my rebuke,

26 ^aI also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your terror comes,

27 When ^ayour terror comes like a storm,
And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.

28 “Then^a they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.

Some interpreters regard this address as the language of the Son of God under the name of Wisdom (compare Luke 11:49). Others think that wisdom, as the divine attribute specially employed in acts of counsel and admonition, is here personified, and represents God. In either case the address is a most solemn and divine admonition, whose matter and spirit are eminently evangelical and impressive (see on Proverbs 8:1).

Wisdom—literally, "Wisdoms," the plural used either because of the unusual sense, or as indicative of the great excellency of wisdom (compare Proverbs 9:1).
