Jump to Previous Bread Drink Eat Food Mingled Mixed WineJump to Next Bread Drink Eat Food Mingled Mixed WineProverbs 9 1. The discipline4. and the doctrine of wisdom 13. The custom 16. and error of folly Come This invitation is a call to action, urging the listener to respond. In the context of Proverbs, wisdom is personified and actively seeks out those who are willing to learn.

The proactive nature of the invitation highlights the accessibility of wisdom to those who are willing to accept it. Eat my bread And drink the wine I have mixed Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Invitation to WisdomGod's wisdom is available to all who are willing to accept it. Just as Wisdom invites the simple to her feast, God invites us to partake in His wisdom through His Word and Spirit. Spiritual Nourishment The bread and wine symbolize the sustenance that comes from living a life grounded in God's truth. We are called to seek spiritual nourishment through prayer, study, and fellowship. Contrast with Folly Proverbs 9 contrasts the paths of wisdom and folly. Choosing wisdom leads to life and understanding, while folly leads to destruction. We must discern and choose wisely. Communal Aspect of Wisdom Wisdom's invitation is communal, reflecting the importance of learning and growing in faith within a community of believers. Engage in Bible study groups and church activities to grow together. Practical Application of Wisdom Wisdom is not just theoretical but practical. It should influence our daily decisions, relationships, and actions, aligning them with God's will.(5) Come, eat of my bread . . .--Comp. the invitations of Isaiah 55:1 and John 6:35.Verse 5. - Come, eat ye of my bread. Wisdom now directly addresses the simple and the foolish (comp. Revelation 22:17). And drink of the wine which I have mingled (see on ver. 2). Bread and wine represent all needful nourishment, as flesh and wine in ver. 2. So Christ says (John 6:51), "I am the living Bread which came down from heaven... and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." Compare the invitation in Isaiah 55:1, "He, every one that thirsteth!" etc. The Fathers see here a prophecy of the gospel feast, wherein Christ gave and gives bread and wine as symbols of his presence (Matthew 26:26, etc.).
