Proverbs 8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. Wisdom here speaks of herself as the queen of the world. Wisdom, in the exercise of her authority — I. DETERMINES THE DESTINY OF RULERS. 1. It inspires all the good actions of kings. 2. It controls all the bad actions of kings. II. HAS A SPECIAL REGARD FOR THE GOOD. Divine wisdom has heart as well as intellect; it glows with sympathies as well as radiates with counsels. III. HAS THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE CHOICEST BLESSINGS FOR MANKIND. (David Thomas, D. D.)
