Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 28:27

_ _ declare — manifest her, namely, in His works (Psalms 19:1, Psalms 19:2). So the approval bestowed by the Creator on His works (Genesis 1:10, Genesis 1:31); compare the “rejoicing” of wisdom at the same (Proverbs 8:30; which Umbreit translates; “I was the skilful artificer by His side”).

_ _ prepared — not created, for wisdom is from everlasting (Proverbs 8:22-31); but “established” her as Governor of the world.

_ _ searched ... out — examined her works to see whether she was adequate to the task of governing the world [Maurer].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 28:20-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 28:27

It — Wisdom, which is the subject of the present discourse. This God saw within himself; he looked upon it in his own mind, as the rule by which he would proceed in the creation and government of all things. Declare — Or reveal it. Prepared — He had it in readiness for doing all his works, as if he had been for a long time preparing materials for them. So it is a speech of God after the manner of men. Searched — Not properly; for so searching implies ignorance, and requires time and industry, all which is repugnant to the Divine perfections; but figuratively, he did, and doth, all things with that absolute and perfect wisdom, so exactly, and perfectly, as if he had bestowed a long time in searching, to find them out.
