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.”
