Barnes' Notes
The wisdom of God. By the wisdom of God, here, is undoubtedly meant the Saviour himself. What he immediately says is not written in the Old Testament. Jesus is called the word of God (Jn 1:1), because he is the medium by which God speaks or makes his will known. He is called the wisdom of God, because by him God makes his wisdom known in creation (Co 1:13-18) and in redemption (1Cor 1:30). Many have also thought that the Messiah was referred to in the 8th chapter of Proverbs, under the name of Wisdom.
I will send, &c. See Lk 10:3; Mt 10:16.
Shall slay, &c. Comp. Jn 16:2; Acts 7:52,59; Jas 5:10; Acts 12:2, 22:19; 2Cor 11:24,25; 2Chr 36:15,16.

Furnish us with such meekness and patience that we…
