What does proverbs chapter mean?

A:The book of Proverbs was written in several layers, with the first layer being a story of Lady Wisdom, a spirit or goddess who was with God at the creation. Later layers added the introduction that attributed the book to Solomon (verse 1:1), as well as material about philosophical wisdom, that has tended to obscure the older verses about (Lady) Wisdom. By the last century BCE, some parts of Judaism were becoming uncomfortable with Wisdom, and she ceased to be part of the Judaic belief system by the end of the first century CE. However, the Book of Proverbs was too important to omit from the Hebrew canon. English translations also sometimes show 'wisdom' in lower case, where the original meaning suggests the person of Wisdom.We are told to know Wisdom and perceive her words of understanding, then we see Wisdom taking to us. At first, these words could indeed be attributed to Solomon, but then Proverbs 1:20 makes it clear who the speaker really was(KJV): "Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets ..."


What does it mean to cry aloud in the context of Proverbs chapter 2 verse 3?

Proverbs chapter 2 is talking about Wisdom, often known as Lady Wisdom, the spirit/goddess who entered Jewish belief after the Babylonian Exile and was mentioned in religious texts right up until the end of the first century CE.In verse 2, "So that thou incline thine ear unto Wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;" read the word Wisdom with a capital 'W' in order to see that it is Lady Wisdom we seek. Verses 4 and 5, "If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God," exhort us to search for Wisdom.Proverbs chapter 2, verse 3 stands in that context. it is Wisdom who can give us knowledge and understanding of God. Call out to her, look for her and she will answer.
