Abaddon and Death say, We have heard a report of it with our ears, establishing that even the cosmic powers of destruction and death have only heard of wisdom, have knowledge of its reputation but not its substance. The personification of Abaddon and Death—the most ultimate cosmic forces—establishes them as aware of wisdom's existence and value but not possessing it. The statement we have heard with our ears suggests second-hand knowledge only, that even these ultimate powers lack direct acquaintance with wisdom. The verse implies that wisdom transcends even the ultimate categories of created existence.
