Commentary on the feminine gender of wisdom
Grok, "Explanation of Feminine Pronouns for Wisdom and the Harlot in the King James Version Bible" (contribution by Grok, an AI developed by xAI, April 5, 2025).
King James Version (London: Robert Barker, 1611), Proverbs 8:1-3.
The Oxford English Dictionary page 3794, describes Wisdom as almost always PERSONIFIED in the Feminine and to mean judging rightly in matters related to LIFE AND CONDUCT.
judge - appraise, to examine to form an opinion upon; to pronounce judgment. "
In the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, the use of feminine pronouns for both "wisdom" and figures like the "harlot" (in Proverbs and Revelation) stems from a combination of linguistic tradition, literary personification, and theological symbolism.
Wisdom as Feminine (Proverbs)
In Proverbs, wisdom is frequently personified as a woman, often using feminine pronouns.
Proverbs 8:1-3 (KJV): "Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. She crieth at the gates..."
Theologically, wisdom’s feminine portrayal may also symbolize nurturing, teaching, and an invitation to relationship—qualities often culturally associated with femininity.
1 Corinthians 1:24 KJB "But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."
1 Corinthians 1:30 KJB
"But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:"
Colossians 2:2-3
In the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, the use of feminine pronouns for both "wisdom" and figures like the "harlot" (in Proverbs and Revelation) stems from a combination of linguistic tradition, literary personification, and theological symbolism.
Wisdom as Feminine (Proverbs)
In Proverbs, wisdom is frequently personified as a woman, often using feminine pronouns.
For instance: Proverbs 1:20-21 (KJV): "Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates..."
Proverbs 8:1-3 (KJV): "Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. She crieth at the gates..."
This personification likely draws from the Hebrew word for wisdom, chokhmah (×—ָ×›ְמָ×”), which is grammatically feminine in Hebrew.
In ancient languages like Hebrew and Greek (the language of the New Testament), grammatical gender doesn’t necessarily reflect biological sex but rather linguistic convention.
When translated into English for the KJV, the translators retained this feminine imagery, personifying wisdom as a woman calling out to humanity, offering guidance and life.
Theologically, wisdom’s feminine portrayal may also symbolize nurturing, teaching, and an invitation to relationship—qualities often culturally associated with femininity.

Proverbs 8 even elevates wisdom to a near-divine status, describing "her" as present with God at creation (Proverbs 8:22-30), which some scholars link to later Christian interpretations of Christ as the Logos (Word/Wisdom) or to Jewish traditions of wisdom as a divine attribute.
My comment:
We know of course that Jesus Christ is TRUTH He is Wisdom
1 Corinthians 1:30 KJB
"But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:"
Scripture:
4. John 1:1-4, 14
5. Matthew 11:19
Theological Connection to Proverbs 8
Though Proverbs 8 itself is Old Testament and personifies wisdom as a created entity ("The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way," Proverbs 8:22),
This aligns with Jesus’ claims, such as John 14:6 (KJV): "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." The life-giving role of wisdom in Proverbs mirrors Christ’s role in the New Testament.
He is the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24, 30).
He holds all wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3).
He is the Word, akin to wisdom’s role in creation (John 1; Proverbs 8).
His life and teachings vindicate divine wisdom (Matthew 11:19).
In contrast, Proverbs also uses feminine pronouns to describe the "strange woman" or "harlot" as a symbol of folly and seduction:
Here, the feminine pronoun reflects the personification of immoral behavior or folly as a seductive woman, contrasting directly with the virtuous female "Wisdom."
The Harlot in Revelation
In Revelation, the "great whore" or "harlot" is another striking feminine figure:
This figure, often interpreted as a symbol of corrupt worldly systems (e.g., Babylon or Rome), is also feminine. The use of "she" and "her" here continues the biblical tradition of personifying abstract concepts—whether virtues or vices—as women.
Why Feminine Pronouns?
Theological Contrast: The feminine portrayal of both wisdom and the harlot sets up a moral and spiritual contrast.
Cultural Influence: Ancient Near Eastern literature often gendered wisdom and cities (like Babylon) as feminine, a convention the Bible adopts and adapts.
In summary, the KJV’s use of feminine pronouns for wisdom and the harlot reflects a blend of linguistic tradition, symbolic storytelling, and theological intent. Wisdom as "she" invites and elevates, while the harlot as "she" warns and condemns, together painting a dramatic picture of the human struggle between good and evil.
"That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
4. John 1:1-4, 14
Scripture: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
Context: While "wisdom" isn’t explicitly mentioned, the "Word" (Logos in Greek) parallels the role of wisdom in Proverbs 8:22-30, where wisdom is present at creation.
Early Christian theology linked the Logos with wisdom, seeing Jesus (the Word made flesh) as the incarnation of God’s creative and sustaining wisdom.
5. Matthew 11:19
Scripture: "The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children."
Theological Connection to Proverbs 8
Though Proverbs 8 itself is Old Testament and personifies wisdom as a created entity ("The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way," Proverbs 8:22),
Proverbs 8:35 (KJV): "For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD."
This aligns with Jesus’ claims, such as John 14:6 (KJV): "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." The life-giving role of wisdom in Proverbs mirrors Christ’s role in the New Testament.
He is the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24, 30).
He holds all wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3).
He is the Word, akin to wisdom’s role in creation (John 1; Proverbs 8).
His life and teachings vindicate divine wisdom (Matthew 11:19).
Now remember, the Devil is a COPY CAT. Perverting the Truth with a Lie.
The Harlot in Proverbs
In contrast, Proverbs also uses feminine pronouns to describe the "strange woman" or "harlot" as a symbol of folly and seduction:
Proverbs 7:10-11 (KJV): "And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house."
Here, the feminine pronoun reflects the personification of immoral behavior or folly as a seductive woman, contrasting directly with the virtuous female "Wisdom."
\
This harlot figure lures people away from righteousness, embodying temptation and destruction.
The use of "she" aligns with the Hebrew text’s grammatical gender and serves a literary purpose: it sets up a clear dichotomy between two paths—wisdom (life) and folly (death)—both depicted as women vying for the attention of the (often male) reader.
The Harlot in Revelation
In Revelation, the "great whore" or "harlot" is another striking feminine figure:
Revelation 17:1-5 (KJV): "And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters... And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
This figure, often interpreted as a symbol of corrupt worldly systems (e.g., Babylon or Rome), is also feminine. The use of "she" and "her" here continues the biblical tradition of personifying abstract concepts—whether virtues or vices—as women.
In this case, the harlot represents idolatry, decadence, and opposition to God, seducing nations into spiritual unfaithfulness.
The feminine imagery may echo Old Testament depictions of unfaithful Israel as an adulterous wife (e.g., Hosea 2:2-5, Ezekiel 16), reinforcing the metaphor of spiritual infidelity.
Why Feminine Pronouns?
Linguistic Roots: Hebrew and Greek nouns have grammatical gender, and English translators of the KJV preserved this when personifying abstract ideas. Chokhmah (wisdom) and terms for harlotry (e.g., zonah in Hebrew, meaning "prostitute") are feminine nouns, naturally leading to "she/her" in poetic passage
s.
Literary Device: Personification as women allowed biblical writers to create vivid, relatable imagery. Wisdom as a noble woman and the harlot as a seductress are archetypes that resonate with human experience, especially in the patriarchal context of the ancient world where women could symbolize both honor and danger.

Theological Contrast: The feminine portrayal of both wisdom and the harlot sets up a moral and spiritual contrast.
Wisdom is the ideal "wife" or companion (Proverbs 31 also ties wisdom to the virtuous woman), while the harlot is the destructive temptress.
This duality underscores the choice between righteousness and sin.
Cultural Influence: Ancient Near Eastern literature often gendered wisdom and cities (like Babylon) as feminine, a convention the Bible adopts and adapts.
For example, in Greek mythology, Athena is a goddess of wisdom, and in Mesopotamian texts, cities are often "mothers" or "queens."
In summary, the KJV’s use of feminine pronouns for wisdom and the harlot reflects a blend of linguistic tradition, symbolic storytelling, and theological intent. Wisdom as "she" invites and elevates, while the harlot as "she" warns and condemns, together painting a dramatic picture of the human struggle between good and evil.
