Proverbs 8:12

Proverbs 8:12. What she is and gives.

12. dwell with prudence marg. subtilty. Rather, have made subtilty (marg. prudence) my dwelling, R.V.; κατεσκήνωσα βουλὴν LXX.; habito in consilio, Vulg. Abstract wisdom makes her abode, as it were the spirit in the body, in practical prudence in affairs. So love is said to "abound in knowledge and all discernment." Philippians 1:9, R.V.

knowledge of witty inventions This, which is retained in R.V. marg., seems preferable, as describing the exercise of wisdom in earthly affairs, to the knowledge and discretionof R.V. text; eruditis intersum cogitationibus, Vulg.
