Proverbs 9
Wisdom and Folly contrasted / The Seven Pillars of Wisdom
 
The Book of Proverbs
 Chapter 09
Proverbs 9:1
Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
 
Wisdom hath builded her house: For we are labourers together with God:
I Corinthians3:9
 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye areGod’s building.
I Corinthians3:10
 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wisemasterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon.But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
I Corinthians3:11
 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is JesusChrist.
She hath hewn out her seven pillars:The number seven in the bible denotes completeness. Proverbs 9:1 shows thatwisdom is prepared and planned ahead. Hear is one of many sevens in the biblethat we can memorize in order to be prepared and plan ahead:The seven tactical tools that God gives us in order to fight against principalities,against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritualwickedness in high places in Ephesians 6:10-20

Proverbs 9:2
She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath alsofurnished her table.
Proverbs 9:3
She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of thecity,
Proverbs 9:4
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wantethunderstanding, she saith to him,
Proverbs 9:5
Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
Proverbs 9:4 is the last call to the simple. At this point in Proverbs, there is nolonger a cry out to the scorner or the fool. Wisdom also calls out to him that wantsunderstanding so that he can attain unto wise counsels as mentioned in Proverbs1:5. In the parable Of The wedding banquet, unbelief in the Lord lay behind therefusal to listen to the Lord’s call.
 
Matthew22:1
 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
Matthew22:2
 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
Matthew22:3
 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: andthey would not come.
Matthew22:4
 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold,I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all thingsare ready: come unto the marriage.
Matthew22:5
 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to hismerchandise:
Matthew22:6
 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slewthem.
Matthew22:7
 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies,and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Matthew22:8
 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Matthew22:9
 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to themarriage.
Matthew22:10
 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as manyas they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
Matthew22:11
 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had noton a wedding garment:
Matthew22:12
 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a weddinggarment? And he was speechless.
Matthew22:13
 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away,and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew22:14
 For many are called, but few are chosen.
Matthew22:15
 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in histalk.
The banquet is the celebration of those who enter the kingdom, and the exclusion isthe judgment of God for those who reject the invitation of grace. We should listen toWisdom’s cry.
Proverbs 9:6
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
In this parable, Jesus explains how the five wise virgins were just in forsaking thefive foolish virgins:
Matthew25:1
 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Matthew
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
