Notes

Proverbs 1:33

Wise people do not fear. They trust that God is in control, and wisdom helps them deal with every situation.

The author describes wisdom as a woman. In Hebrew, the word for wisdom, khokmah, is grammatically feminine. The author encourages his son to embrace wisdom (see Proverbs 3:18; 8:1–9:6).
