1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
A wise person builds a house that is complete and will withstand anything this world can throw at it. The seven means it is a complete house full in size and fit for a banquet. Seven means spiritually complete, and we see the perfection that God will build His house. The banquet is complete with mingle wine, which is diluted with water to keep form having an intoxicating affect, and
beast and all the fixings. Wisdom here sends out the call to people to come into the feast just as Christ will call His church in to the marriage supper. The invitation goes out to the less fortunate to come because they are more receptive to acquiring wisdom and understanding. Wisdom ask that they eat of the feast prepared and drink of the mingled wine, this is symbolic of Jesus offering the bread and wine at the last supper. Only fools say there is no God so we need to stay away from these people and turn from our own foolish ways so we can use the wisdom and understanding we gained from the feast.
