Contextual Overview

¹ Doth not wysdome crye? doth not vnderstanding put foorth her voyce? ² She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the place of the pathes: ³ She cryeth at the gates of the citie, at the entrye of the doores: ⁴ It is you O ye men [saith she] whom I call, vnto the chyldren of men do I lyft vp my voyce. ⁵ Take heede vnto knowledge O ye ignoraunt, be ye wise in heart O ye fooles. ⁶ Geue eare, for I wyll speake of great matters, and open my lippes to tell thinges that be right: ⁷ For my mouth shall be talking of the trueth, and my lippes abhorre vngodlynesse. ⁸ All the wordes of my mouth are righteous, there is no frowardnes nor falsehood in them. ⁹ They are all playne to suche as wyll vnderstande, and right to them that finde knowledge. ¹⁰ Receaue my doctrine and not siluer, and knowledge rather then fine golde:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

She standeth in the top of high places,.... To be both seen and heard, for which reason Christ went up into a mountain and preached, Matthew 5:1;

by the way; the roadside, to instruct and direct passengers as they go along, to show them the right way, and caution them against taking wrong ways; so did Christ, Matthew 16:6;

in the places of the paths; or, "between the paths" s; where more ways than one met together, and so difficult to know which was the right path to take; here Christ stands in the ministry of the word to direct, and says, "this is the way, walk ye in it", Isaiah 30:21; and as there are many ways which are proposed to men to walk in, some of open profaneness and impiety, and others that have a show of religion and devotion, but both lead men wrong; the ministers of Christ show, and he by them, the way of salvation, and how to avoid such as lead to destruction, Acts 16:17.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The full enumeration of localities points to the publicity and openness of Wisdom’s teaching (see Proverbs 1:20 note), as contrasted with the stealth and secrecy and darkness which shroud the harlot’s enticements Proverbs 7:9.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 8:2. In the places of the paths. — בית נתיבת נצבה beith nethiboth nitstsabah, "The constituted house of the paths." Does not this mean the house of public worship? the tabernacle or temple, which stands a centre to the surrounding villages, the paths from all the parts leading to and terminating at it? In such a place, where the holy word of God is read or preached, there in a particular manner does wisdom cry, and understanding lift up her voice. There are the warnings, the precepts, and the promises of eternal truth; there the bread of God is broken to his children, and thither they that will may come and take the water of life freely.
