Commentary on Proverbs 8:29
When God gave the sea its boundary, when He laid earth's foundations, wisdom was there. The Hebrew 'chaqaq' (decree/inscribe) and 'mow'da' (foundation) describe authoritative establishing. Job 38:8-11 similarly describes God setting sea's boundaries. Wisdom establishes both limits (sea's boundary) and foundations (earth's stability). Creation involves both restriction and support - limiting chaos, establishing order. Divine wisdom providentially governs all reality.
