Proverbs 9 MSG. Lady Wisdom Gives a Dinner Party

Proverbs 9 MSG. Lady Wisdom Gives a Dinner Party

1-6 Lady Wisdom has built and furnished her home;
 it’s supported by seven hewn timbers.
The banquet meal is ready to be served: lamb roasted,
 wine poured out, table set with silver and flowers.
Having dismissed her serving maids,
 Lady Wisdom goes to town, stands in a prominent place,
 and invites everyone within sound of her voice:
“Are you confused about life, don’t know what’s going on?
 Come with me, oh come, have dinner with me!
I’ve prepared a wonderful spread—fresh-baked bread,
 roast lamb, carefully selected wines.
Leave your impoverished confusion and live!
 Walk up the street to a life with meaning.”
