The House of Wisdom

Proverbs 9:1-12

The fear of the Lord engages wisdom,
And the knowledge of God makes wise;
A marriage blessed from His Kingdom,
That is extremely pleasing unto His eyes.

Wisdom has a house with seven pillars,
And has put all of her fat beasts to death;
For Satan had trained them to be killers,
Choking the righteous of their last breath.

The wine is mixed and table has been set,
As she sends all of her maid servants out;
For her beau still has not come home yet,
And really not certain of his where about.

No matter where he is let him come here,
For he is not very wise and has no sense;
If scared being late he has nothing to fear,
I want to nourish him with bread hence.

But wisdom is not worried since the Lord,
Will ensure that he returns safely home;
He gives him knowledge from His Word,
Regardless of wherever he may roam.
