No, if anything Wisdom is quoting Jeremiah. Quoting a prophet is not the same as prophesying, because Wisdom is stating an event after the fact.
Assuming Wisdom is indeed quoting Jeremiah, who do you think the author of Matthew is quoting Wisdom or Jeremiah?
Certainly a man does not quote another quoter, but he quotes the one who actually made the statement.
If I said, “It is not best to swap horses while crossing the river.”, would you assume I was quoting Fred Kaplan who wrote a book about Lincoln? Or would you say I was quoting Abraham Lincoln?
To say I was quoting Kaplan, would be inaccurate to say the least! To say Matthew is quoting Wisdom, especially when Matthew states he is quoting Jeremiah, is just plain wrong.

Ginger, I would understand your argument concerning wisdom, if there had been only one reference of Wisdom in the NT (taken from an earlier OT book) but there are many, how clever (or conniving) do you think the writers of the deuterocanonicals books were if they were able to decipher and write (by picking the correct references) what would be relevant or refered to in the NT.
