The first 9 chapters of Proverbs deal with wisdom personified. To personify is to give something lifeless human-like qualities — like when Emily Dickinson wrote, "Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me..." Wisdom is personified in Proverbs chapter 1-9. If you take 8:22 to...

Wisdom is a Person, not "personified".
Here are the primary words that are pointed to by those advocating the errors [such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Arians, others and those teaching the “two beings” and “three personalities”], but they all misunderstand them, as they grieve the person/being of...
