Berean Standard Bible

“By His knowledge the watery depths were broken open, and the clouds dripped with dew.”

Proverbs 3:20

Save as image

Study note

In Proverbs 3 a father urges his son to treasure wisdom, then grounds that advice in creation itself. Verses 19 and 20 show wisdom as the means by which God made the world, so the son is invited to live in line with how reality was built.
