Proverbs 9:2
1 Wisdom has built her house; she has carved out her seven pillars.
She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table.
3 She has sent out her maidservants; she calls out from the heights of the city.
4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” she says to him who lacks judgment.
