True Wisdom Is Vindicated in the Eyes of the Wise (11:19)
If some people choose to reject God's message, which he has confirmed by strong evidences, this hardly brings the message into question; it merely brings into question either the sense or the moral honesty of those who reject it. Wisdom's "deeds" (NIV actions) here alludes loosely back to Christ's "deeds" (NIV "what Christ was doing") in verse 2 (Meier 1980:124), paving the way for the identification of Christ and Wisdom in verses 28-30 (see also 23:24).
IVP New Testament Commentaries are made available by the generosity of InterVarsity Press.
