Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 30:3

3 I neither learned wisdom , nor have the knowledge of the holy .

I have not been taught in the Schools of Wisdom, as the Sons of Prophets were, but must own my self to be an unlearned Man, as the Prophet Amos was, Amos 7. 14, 15. Or, I have not learned it, neither by my own understanding and study, nor by the help of other men.

Either 1. of the holy Angels, who are called Holy by way of eminency, as Deut. 33. 2. Iob 15. 15. Dan. 4. 13, 17, 23. & 8. 13. But it was vain to deny that Angelical knowledg to be in him, which no Man imagined to be in him, and which was not in Adam in the state of Innocency. Or 2. of the holy Prophets. So the sense is, I have not such Divine inspirations as Prophets strictly so called have received, whereby I should be enabled to know or explain those great Mysteries wherein you desire information from me. Or 3. of Holy things, of the mind and will of God concerning Man's Salvation, and the way which leads to it. Not that he denieth that he had any knowledge of these things, but onely a full and comprehensive and perfect knowledge, which they falsly supposed to be in him.
