Verse 5 is found in chapter 9 of Proverbs. Wisdom builds a house, prepares a feast, and sends messengers to call the simple. The scene represents a public invitation to enter a life of learning and correction. Eating and drinking at this banquet symbolize receiving instruction that leads away from folly. The call is not merely intellectual: it requires abandoning the wrong path and beginning to live with discernment.

"Kommet, zehret von meinem Brot und trinket den Wein, den ich schenke;
Venid, comed mi pan, Y bebed del vino que yo he templado.
Venez, mangez de mon pain, Et buvez du vin que j'ai mêlé;
Venite, mangiate del mio pane, E bevete del vino che io ho temperato.
Vinde, comei do meu pão, e bebei do vinho que tenho misturado.
「你們來,吃我的餅, 喝我調的酒。
