Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 9:1

1. WIsdom hath built her house : she hath hewn out her seven pillars .

For the reception and entertainment of her Guests, as appears from the following passages. This house is opposed to the Harlots House mentioned, Prov. 7. 8. and it is to be understood, either 1. of the heavenly House or the Palace of Glory: Or rather 2. of the Church which Christ, the Wisdom of the Father, hath erected and established in the World, in which this following Feast is made, which is called God's House, 1 Tim. 3. 15. Heb. 3. 3, 4.

i. e. Many Pillars; whereby is intimated both the beauty and the stability of the Church▪

Prophets, and Apostles, and Ministers of Holy things, which, in Scripture are called Pillars, as Gal. 2. 9. and elsewhere.
