5 Komt, eet van Mijn brood, en drinkt van den wijn, dien Ik gemengd heb.

Spreuken 9:5 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 9:5

Come, eat of my bread
Which stands for all the provisions of Christ's house; it designs the Gospel, which to a believer is more than his necessary food; and the ordinance of the supper, one of the symbols of which is bread; and more especially Christ himself, the bread of God, the living bread that came down from heaven, which is to be eaten by faith; and this only, for everything else is that which is not bread; and this daily, as the Israelites ate their manna; this is the believer's daily bread; and largely and freely, to which they are welcome by Christ; and with gladness and singleness of heart, joyfully and with sincerity; and drink of the wine [which] I have mingled;
of the love of Christ; or of the love of the Father, Son, and Spirit, which meet and mingle together: to "drink" of this is to partake of it by faith, and be persuaded of interest in it; this may be drank largely of, for there is enough, a river of it; and without danger, it is not intoxicating as wine, wherein is excess; and it may be had freely, without money and without price, ( Song of Solomon 1:2 Song of Solomon 1:4 ) ( 5:1 ) ( Isaiah 55:1 ) .

3 Zij heeft Haar dienstmaagden uitgezonden; Zij nodigt op de tinnen van de hoogten der stad:

4 Wie is slecht? Hij kere zich herwaarts! Tot de verstandeloze zegt Zij:

5 Komt, eet van Mijn brood, en drinkt van den wijn, dien Ik gemengd heb.

6 Verlaat de slechtigheden, en leeft; en treedt in den weg des verstands.
