It must also be understood that the Bible often uses the language of personification when talking about abstract things, e.g. wisdom is referred to as a woman in Prov. 9:1. This is to demonstrate to us what a person who has wisdom would be like in practice; 'wisdom' cannot exist except in someone's mind, and so this device of personification is used.
Hekima imetajwa kana kwamba ni mtu katika kitabu cha Mithali 9:1. Hivi ni kwa kutuonyesha mtu gani aliye na hekima anavyofanana katika kutenda matendo;'Hekima’ haiwezi kuwepo isipokuwa ndani ya akili ya mtu, ndivyo shauri hili la kuita kitu kana kwamba ni mtu limetumika.
