Proverbs 7:4

Context

7:4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” 1 

and call understanding a close relative,

1 sn The metaphor is meant to signify that the disciple will be closely related to and familiar with wisdom and understanding, as close as to a sibling. Wisdom will be personified in the next two chapters, and so referring to it as a sister in this chapter certainly prepares for that personification.
