By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
Wisdom must be hunted like ore from a mine, not waited for like alms at the door. We draw it from God by prayer, we labor for it by diligence, we grow in it by use, and we prove we truly have it by giving it away to others. That is well got which is put to good purpose.

Commenting on Proverbs 3:13-20
God's knowledge accomplished the greatest works: the vast waters were set in their place, whether you mean the deep at creation or the Red Sea parted at the exodus, all display the wisdom hidden in Christ. The dew that falls and makes the earth fruitful comes from Him alone, not from idols; He fills the clouds and sends down blessing. The literal sense stands firm.
AI summary
Wisdom mediated God's entire creative work from the beginning. She is not merely an attribute of His nature, but a divine power with life in herself, through whom God conceived the world's design and gave it external reality. The heavens and earth bear witness to her.
