Abstract
Chapter 9 is in Prov 1-9 a synthesis where the reader of this Book of the Bible is invited to make a systematic interpretation of this text within the contrast between the image of Lady Wisdom (Prov 9,1-6) and Lady Foolishness (Prov 9,13-18). In Prov. 9,1-6 the process of personification of Lady Wisdom acquires the highest and most conclusive level. Under the image of a banquet, it ensures the transmission of the message of this Book. Different metaphors in the text encourage the believer to find the relationship to God. The metaphor of bread and wine is sign for God’s Word as food, the great richness of Revelation. The reader of this Book is invited from this metaphor of Word`s banquet to hear the divine message and to enjoy the gift of life as celebration of his election by the Wisdom.
