Proverbs
9
Pro 9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she
hath hewn out her seven
pillars:
Pro 9:2 She hath killed her beasts; she
hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
The true heavenly house
of God …

Ye also, as lively stones, are built up
a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Heb 3:6
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the
confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
The true believers are
like “pillars”
Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the
temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the
name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new
Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write
upon him my new name.
Gal 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to
be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me
and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the
heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
Jer 51:40 I will bring them down
like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
Jer 51:41 How is Sheshach
taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised!
how is Babylon become an astonishment among
the nations!
The table that is
furnished is Christ …
1Co 10:21
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye
cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of
devils.
Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest
my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
The foolish woman says
….

wilderness?
Pro 9:3 She hath
sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

the wine which I have mingled.

words.

shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be
honoured.

Why should we not
reprove a scorner?

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the
heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Heb 6:5
And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world
to come,
Heb 6:6
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to
themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

ears to hear, let him hear.
Pro 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will
increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise
counsels:
