Wisdom has built her house;
    she has hewn her seven pillars.
She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine;
    she has also set her table.
She has sent out her young women to call
    from the highest places in the town,
“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
    To him who lacks sense she says,
“Come, eat of my bread
    and drink of the wine I have mixed.
Leave your simple ways, and live,
    and walk in the way of insight.” 
Proverbs 9:1-6 (ESV)

2. The life that the wisdom of Proverbs offers us, along with access to the presence of God, appears to foreshadow the sacrifice of Jesus that we’ll explore in the New Testament. Proverbs 9:1-6 contains one of these examples. Identify it in your workbook.
