Wisdom's Welcome

"Wisdom hath ... furnished her table ... As for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Come eat of My bread, and drink of the wine that I have mingled. Forsake the foolish and live; and go in the way of understanding ... If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but it thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it" (Proverbs 9:1-12).

Wisdom has set the table,
And called us to come and dine:
Abandon your folly and fable;
Partake of My bread and My wine.

Come now and learn to be wise;
The call is to every nation:
Come now and open your eyes,
Behold Him, the God of salvation.

The wise will embrace Jesus Christ,
While mockers will blaspheme His name.
The saved trust the Lamb sacrificed;
The scorners will bear their own shame.
