Proverbs 9:1
Douay-Rheims
Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars.
Gregory of Nyssa
We say, therefore, that when he said in his previous discourse that wisdom built a house for itself, he is speaking enigmatically about the formation of the Lord's flesh. For true wisdom did not live in someone else's building but built a home for itself from the Virgin's body.
