The first part of the the reading talks about the calling for the people to actively seek and obey the wisdom.
The next part, is interestingly, mentions that the wisdom has been around in the beginning of time, before the universe was even created. This indicates wisdom is not only about principles, but it is related to the Word, who exists in the beginning, … then consistently at His side; a very strong evidence referring to Jesus Christ (if not the Holy Spirit (?)). The true wisdom comes out and cannot be separated by God. The true wisdom possess vast knowledge of the past, the present, and the future. Furthermore, wisdom is characterized as truthful, just, and free from deceit.
This reading highlights the supremacy of wisdom upon all; and those who want to live, needs to seek and obey it; a justification of the first part of the reading, the calling of wisdom
The next par describes the wisdom brings prosperity; enabling the leaders to rule and govern their countries with excellence. Again, emphasizing how essential wisdom is.
Then how do we seek the wisdom?
The answer can be found in the beginning, to fear the Lord.
