# General Information: In chapter 8 wisdom is spoken of as a woman who teaches people how to be wise. Many verses in chapter 8 have parallelisms. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]]) # Does not Wisdom call out? This question is used to remind the readers of something they should already know. Alternate translation: "Wisdom calls out" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]]) # Does not Wisdom call out? Here wisdom is imagined as a woman. If a language does not allow this kind of metaphor, other possible translations are: 1) "Is not wisdom like a woman who calls out?" 2) "Does not a woman named Wisdom call out?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]]) # Does not Understanding raise her voice? Here "Understanding" means the same as "Wisdom." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]]) # raise her voice "speak"
