Job28:27
27. declare--manifest her, namely, in His works (Psa 19:1, 2). So the approval bestowed by the Creator on His works (Ge 1:10, 31); compare the "rejoicing" of wisdom at the same (Pr 8:30; which Umbreit translates; "I was the skilful artificer by His side").
prepared--not created, for wisdom is from everlasting (Pr 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].
