Lady Wisdom (Proverbs 9:1-6 Scripture Song)

Lady Wisdom has something to tell us: if we want to really live, we should eat at her table.

In my research for this video, I discovered that scholars often look to the Epistle of James to see what the "seven pillars of wisdom" are, mentioned in the Proverbs.

I tried to demonstrate some of those seven pillars, such as purity, peace-loving, gentleness, submissive reasonableness, good fruits, impartiality, and sincerity.

These are hard things to describe in picture only, but I hope you'll find the pencil crayon drawings peaceful and moving.

Lyrics:

Wisdom has built her house;
She has set up its seven pillars.
She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;

She's also set her table.
She has sent out her servants, and she
Calls from the highest point of the city,

Let all who are simple come to my house!
To those who have no sense she says,

Come, eat my food
And drink the wine I've mixed.
Leave your simple ways and you will live;
Come, eat my food
And drink the wine I've mixed.
Walk in the way of insight.

Let all who are simple come to my house!
To those who have no sense she says,

Come, eat my food
And drink the wine I've mixed.
Leave your simple ways and you will live;
Come, eat my food
And drink the wine I've mixed.
Walk in the way of insight.
