Lady Wisdom and Brother Knowledge...

[Nick01]

Hello. I am curious about something. Who is Lady Wisdom, and who is my Brother Knowledge? Are they entities or spirits? God designed them just for us, right?

I want/desire to get to know Lady Wisdom and Brother knowledge. Lady Wisdom is my close friend, and Brother Knowledge my companion. I know these things, but I don't really know who/what they are.

Here is my reference verse :

Proverbs 2:9-15-9-15 The Message (MSG)​

So now you can pick out what’s true and fair, find all the good trails! Lady Wisdom will be your close friend, and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion. Good Sense will scout ahead for danger, Insight will keep an eye out for you. They’ll keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions Of those who are lost themselves and can’t tell a trail from a tumbleweed, These losers who make a game of evil and throw parties to celebrate perversity, Traveling paths that go nowhere, wandering in a maze of detours and dead ends.

Thoughts?

 

[Gregory Thompson]

The message isn't a direct translation, it's an idiomatic translation, so it may be difficult to navigate in a "taking it lierally" kind of manner.

I'd look at some different translations if I were you.
