Proverbs 8:22-31
"Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago. . . . Before the mountains themselves had been settled down, ahead of the hills, I was brought forth as with labor pains . . . When he prepared the heavens I was there; . . . then I came to be beside him as a master worker, and I came to be the one he was specially fond of day by day, I being glad before him all the time, . . . and the things I was fond of were with the sons of men.
This proverb certainly applies to Jesus.
But only a few verses earlier, Proverbs 8:12
quote:
I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion
The first person narrator in this case is an anthropomorphic personification of wisdom. I see no good reason to believe the text is refering to Jesus.
