Wisdom

The speaker in chapter 8 is wisdom, personified. Though verses 22-36 sound alot like Jesus upon first glance, it is clear that Solomon is referring to a creation of God, ("the Lord formed me from the beginning, before he created anything else"). SInce Jesus is God, He is eternal as well and cannot be thought of as a creation of God. So these verses are a continuation of the first part of the chapter, where the speaker is wisdom itself.

Tomorrow's reading: Prov. 11, 12, 13
