Both wisdom and folly will make their final appeals; and both appeal to the simpletons. Wisdom offers life with no mention of pleasure; folly offers pleasure with no mention of death. The first twelve verses concern accepting wisdom: the invitation of wisdom (1-6), the description of the responses (7-11), and the consequence (12). Verses 13-18 concern accepting folly: the invitation (13-17) and the consequence (18).","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Proverbs%209%3A1/1"}

Lichtenstein, “The Banquet Motif in Keret and in ,” JANESCU 1 [1968/69]: 19-31). The figures of meat and wine represent the good teaching of wisdom that will be palatable and profitable (implied comparisons). Compare Isaiah 55:1-2 and John 6:51, 55 for similar uses of the figures. The idea of mixing wine could refer to the practice of mixing wine with spices or with water (as the LXX text assumes; e.g., Prov 23:30 ; Isa 5:22 ). Mixed wine was the most intoxicating; thus, her wisdom is attractive. All the imagery lets the simple know that what wisdom has to offer is marvelous.","source_note_position":2,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Proverbs%209%3A2/2"}

The “water” will seem sweeter than wine because it is stolen the idea of getting away with something exciting appeals to the baser instincts. In Proverbs the water imagery was introduced earlier in 5:15-19 as sexual activity with the adulteress, which would seem at the moment more enjoyable than learning wisdom. Likewise bread will be drawn into this analogy in 30:20 . So the “calling out” is similar to that of wisdom, but what is being offered is very different.","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Proverbs%209%3A17/1"}
