In Prov. 8 wisdom is speaking in the 1st person. Following a presentation of its qualities (vs. 1-21) and its origin before the foundation of the world (vs. 22-31) it presents both the positive and negative of those that either embrace wisdom or reject it.
The chapter ends with this cryptic prediction: "But he that sinneth against me wrongeth [injures/harms] his own soul: all they that hate me love [and court {AMP}] death."
My question is how does this predicted love of death play out? What does it look like? How does done determine that what is being observed in any given individual is the "lov[ing] death" that is the promised result of hating wisdom?
