Only God, in the fullness of His knowledge and creative power, knows the way of wisdom. God’s creative activity is described first (28:3; 9:11). The connection between creation and wisdom runs throughout the entire wisdom tradition of the Old Testament (cf. Prov 3:18-20; 8:22-31). It is through creation that God establishes, opens, and reveals the path of wisdom. Just as human wisdom is shown in behavior, so God’s wisdom is made evident in His divine actions. Chapter 28 reflects on the earlier debate and implies that the quest there was an overly ambitious claim. It then points to the words of the Lord and the conclusion of the book, where it says that wisdom is with God, revealed in creation, but beyond human reach.
