This title summarizes the chapter’s content and also serves as the lesson for the entire work. Although the book is addressed to rulers— a common theme in wisdom writings of antiquity (Ps 2:10; Prov 31:1f)—in reality, it is aimed at the Jews threatened by the pagan environment. Through the image of wisdom personified (cf. Prov 8:22-31) and taking on the role of teachers (cf. Prov 1-9), it describes righteous behavior (2-5) and God’s knowledge of all things (6-10). Beneath this lies the typical sapiential problem of the changing fortunes of the faithful and the wicked, whose solution is found by equating justice with life and immortality (Prov 8:31, 36; Acts 2:2-4), and injustice with death and final separation from God (Rev 6:8; 20:14). The wicked inherit death, while Israel is God’s inheritance (Deut 32:9; Ps 16:5; 73:26). Justice, whether viewed individually or collectively, calls out from all places and times, despite all means that silence its voice. True wisdom echoes this and calls on God as a witness, especially for those who suffer and for those who work for justice.
