A Stroll Through Proverbs 9:1 – 9:6 “The Satisfaction of Wisdom”

 Previous Verses: 32 “Now therefore harken unto me [Wisdom; Jesus Christ], O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. 33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse [do not disdain (despise) it] it not. 34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching [literally “so as to watch;” diligent attention] daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. 35 For whoso findeth me [Jesus Christ; The Divine Wisdom] findeth life [eternal life], and shall obtain [bring forth] favour of the LORD. 36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.”

            ^a Matthew 16:18, Ephesians 2:20-22, 1 Peter 2:5

5 Come, ^d eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled [mixed].
