Christ, the Wisdom of God and Lady Wisdom here in Proverbs.

this devotional. Unique also are several features of each
day's devotion: a crafted Prayer and A For Further Study/Word

EXCERPT:
THE LORD IS IN CONTROL OF WISDOM
The eyes of the LORD keep watch over knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the traitor. Proverbs 22:12
Who will ensure that true wisdom wins in the end? God! He tells the traitors and the wise that the traitor will not succeed in the end. He keeps watch and cries it out to all to hear and follow and he even "overthrows" the lies dressed up as wisdom. They are traitors because they rebel against this true God in the manner of their leader, Satan. God sees everything, i.e. in anthropomorphic terms, "His eyes keep watch." He really doesn't have eyes, but He sees it all, He knows it all, He protects wisdom and defeats all contenders. In the end, His wisdom will prevail. In the cross of Jesus Christ, He is victorious! For us this means we should stand with the winner, in the Gospel, and aid in defeating all pretenders. The advantages and blessings of this wisdom are profound and touch all whom it comes in contact with, whether they agree or like it not. Our wise and all-knowing, all-seeing God insures it!
