Feeding on Wisdom
Wisdom is like a spouse,
Who easily builds your house;
Seven pillars in front,
For standing broad and blunt.
Her table is prepared,
The meal cooked to be shared;
As the wine has been poured,
Tastes like a fine reward.
She has sent out her maid,
To say not be afraid;
Simple ones do not fear,
To come and feast in here.
Those without any sense,
No need to feel so tense;
Drink knowledge from the wine,
Your mind grows as you dine.
The Lord will make you wise,
Feed wisdom through your eyes;
Only if you will start,
Keeping fear in your heart.
