Given by: Baruch, closing the poem in praise of wisdom. Given to: the people of God — and every reader who beholds God come near.

To exiles taught that wisdom belongs to God alone and is not found in Babylon's sages, Baruch ends with a marvel: this very Wisdom was seen upon earth and lived among men.

Afterwards he was seen upon earth, and conversed with men.

Behold the wonder that the divine Wisdom of God was seen upon earth and lived among men — read by the Church as pointing to the Incarnation of Christ.
