Contextual Overview

¹³ Well is hym that findeth wysdome, and getteth vnderstandyng: ¹⁴ For the marchaundise of it, is better then the marchaundise of siluer, and the gayne therof [is better] then golde. ¹⁵ She is more worth then pretious stones: and all the thinges that thou canst desire, are not to be compared vnto her. ¹⁶ In her right hande is long life, and in her left hande riches and honour. ¹⁷ Her wayes are pleasaunt wayes, and all her pathes are peaceable. ¹⁸ She is a tree of lyfe to them that lay holde vpon her: and blessed is he that kepeth her fast. ¹⁹ With wysdome hath the Lorde layde the foundation of the earth, and thorow vnderstanding hath he stablished the heauens. ²⁰ Thorow his knowledge the deapthes are broken vp, and the cloudes droppe downe the deawe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

By his knowledge the depths are broken up,.... From whence fountains and rivers flow, and whereby that great cavity was made which holds that large confluence of waters called the sea, Genesis 1:9. Some refer this to the breaking up the fountains of the great deep at the flood, Genesis 7:11; and others to the dividing of the waters of the Red sea when Israel came out of Egypt, Psalms 78:13; all wonderful works of divine wisdom, and show the greatness of him, in whom are "hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge", Colossians 2:3, by whom they were done;

and the clouds drop down the dew; which makes the earth fruitful, and is put for all the blessings of nature, Genesis 27:28; the drops of dew are begotten by the Lord, they have no other father but him; the vanities of the Gentiles cannot produce them; he who fills the clouds with them, from whence they descend, is no other than the mighty God; and such is Christ the Wisdom of God. Some understand this in a mystical sense of Gospel ministers, and of the dew of Gospel doctrine, dropped and distilled by them under the influence and direction of Christ; see

Deuteronomy 32:2; but the literal sense is best.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare Genesis 1:7; Genesis 7:11; Job 38:0. Looking upon the face of Nature, men see two storehouses of the living water, without which it would be waste and barren. From the “depths” rush forth the surging waves, from the “clouds” falls the gentle rain or “dew;” but both alike are ordered by the Divine Wisdom.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 3:20. By his knowledge the depths are broken up — He determined in his wisdom how to break up the fountains of the great deep, so as to bring a flood of waters upon the earth; and by his knowledge those fissures in the earth through which springs of water arise have been appointed and determined; and it is by his skill and influence that vapours are exhaled, suspended in the atmosphere, and afterwards precipitated on the earth in rain, dews, &c. Thus the wisest of men attributes those effects which we suppose to spring from natural causes to the Supreme Being himself.
