What do you think about the idea that logos correlates to the personification of wisdom in Proverbs? I was always kind of intrigued by the thought.

@martinwbender, I think lady wisdom in Proverbs is a poetic device that points to the divine Wisdom. Wisdom (lower case) is a form of a mystery that was only partially understood by the writers as well. Paul has a lot to say about the revelation of the divine Mystery in Ephesians and Colossians, but I'll just point out these 3 verses in Ephesians 3:9-11: "and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord" Thanks for asking the question. I hope this helps!
