Advise on Wisdom


Proverbs 9

Wisdom built her house with hewn 7 pillars,
They are sturdy coming from the best miller;
She killed her beasts and mingled her wine,
Fixing a feast to lay on the table to dine;
She sends the maid out all around the city,
To find simple minded men not too witty;
Someone who does not understand much,
But actually feels hungry for some lunch;
Tell them to come for some bread and wine,
To live and walk to understand the divine;
Don't correct a scoffer who really reviled,
Tackling an evil man can easily be riled;
Leave the scoffer alone lest he hates you,
A wise man will love it more if you pursue;
Sharing with a wise man makes him wiser,
Teaching a righteous man is a good advisor;
The fear of God is the start of being wise,
Knowledge of the Holy One is what I advise;
Your years of your life will be increased,
Talking to a wise man and partake the feast.
