A church father on this verse
“For the birth from the Virgin has been a wonder for all ages, who came, according to the word of blessed Simeon, for the fall and resurrection of many, and as a sign which would be contradicted. Of whom it is also said through Isaiah: The root of Jesse, who stands as a sign for the peoples, before whom kings will shut…”

In context

8If a man desire much experience, She knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come: She knoweth the subtleties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: She foreseeth signs and wonders, And the events of seasons and times.

9Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, Knowing that she would be a counselor of good things, And a comfort in cares and grief.

— Wisdom of Solomon 8:10 —

11I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, And shall be admired in the sight of great men.

12When I hold my tongue, they shall bide my leisure, And when I speak, they shall give good ear unto me: If I talk much, they shall lay their hands upon their mouth.
