Proverbs 8:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 8:7
Wisdom speaks 'right things' (Hebrew 'nagiyd'—what is straightforward and truthful), and her lips 'abhor wickedness.' This establishes wisdom's moral character—absolute commitment to truth and hatred of evil. This reflects God's nature: He cannot lie (Titus 1:2) and is of such pure eyes He cannot look upon iniquity (Habakkuk 1:13). Reformed theology emphasizes God's holiness as foundational to His character. True wisdom, because it flows from God, shares this moral perfection. Any 'wisdom' that compromises truth or tolerates evil is false.
