Commentary on Proverbs 8:31
Wisdom rejoiced in God's inhabited earth, delighting in humanity. The Hebrew 'sachaq' (rejoice/play) and 'sha'shua' (delight) describe joyful engagement. Wisdom's delight extends from fellowship with God (v.30) to creation and especially humanity. This anticipates incarnation - Christ's joy in taking human form, dwelling among us. The Word who created humanity delighted in becoming human.
