31 rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
31 rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man.
31 Delighted with the world of things and creatures, happily celebrating the human family.
31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world, And my delight was with the sons of men.
31 And how happy I was with the world he created; how I rejoiced with the human family!

Commentary on Proverbs 8:22-31
(Read Proverbs 8:22-31)
The Son of God declares himself to have been engaged in the creation of the world. How able, how fit is the Son of God to be the Saviour of the world, who was the Creator of it! The Son of God was ordained, before the world, to that great work. Does he delight in saving wretched sinners, and shall not we delight in his salvation?
