The idea of how wisdom is found becomes clearer. This passage can be divided into two parts: 1. Personification of wisdom (12-20): wisdom appears with personal traits, as a divine quality or attribute—like in Prov 8:22-31—that actively seeks out those who pursue it. 2. Announcement of the king’s speech (21-25): where the author’s wish to share the secrets of wisdom with others is set up, and the attribution of the book of Wisdom to Solomon is inspired by the speech that is now introduced and will be further explained later. There are some hints to ancient mystery religions, where the revelation of wisdom was kept for initiates (22:23). Wisdom is a gift from God and belongs to those who seek it sincerely with their hearts.
