Pro_9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

Ver. 1. Wisdom.] Heb., Wisdoms, in the plural; and this, either honoris causa, for honour’s sake, or else by an ellipsis, as if the whole of it were "wisdom of wisdoms," as "the song of songs," for a most excellent song. {Son_1:1} Junius renders it, Summa sapientia. Highest wisdom. {See Trapp on "Pro_1:20"}

Hath builded her house.] That is, The Church. {1Ti_3:15} {See Trapp on "Pro_1:20"}

She hath hewn out her seven pillars] Pillars, and polished pillars. Anything is good enough to make up a mud wall; but the Church’s pillars are of marble, and those not rough, but hewn; her safety is accompanied with beauty.
