9:1 智慧建造房屋，鑿成七根柱子，
9:2 宰殺牲畜，調和旨酒，設擺筵席；
9:3 打發使女出去，自己在城中至高處呼叫，
9:4 說：誰是愚蒙人，可以轉到這裡來！又對那無知的人說：
9:5 你們來，吃我的餅，喝我調和的酒。
9:6 你們愚蒙人，要捨棄愚蒙，就得存活，並要走光明的道。

Wisdom has built her
house;
she has set up[a] its seven pillars.
2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
she has also set her table.
3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls
from the highest point of the city,
4 “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense she says,
5 “Come, eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live;
walk in the way of insight.”

基督的信仰是強調用話語來宣揚，要呼喊人來親近上帝。因為有「話」就會「活」，就會讓人願意動起來，完成上帝的旨意。正如這裡用擬人法來描述智慧打發使女出去來呼喊：「誰是愚蒙人，可以轉到這裡來！」「你們來，吃我的餅，喝我調和的酒。你們愚蒙人，要捨棄愚蒙，就得存活，並要走光明的道。」
我們要順應這樣的呼召，快快來到智慧的宴席，來享受智慧的大餐，使自己走在光明的道路上！這是非常重要的，因為聖經說的悔改就是如此，就是離棄罪惡進入光明！
人需要受到上帝所賜的智慧之引導，才能真正離開黑暗，進入奇妙的光明！而我們一生的目的就是宣揚上帝這樣奇妙的美德，榮耀祂、以祂為樂！
