“Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,”
Her call: Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed. Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight. Wisdom addresses the simple directly, calling them to abandon their simplicity and gain understanding. Leave your simple ways indicates a transformation: stop being naive, develop discernment. You will live promises that this transformation leads to life. Walk in the way of insight indicates the path that Wisdom offers. Her call is not to escape to some hidden realm but to join a transformed community characterized by understanding.
