If she 'mingled' her wine... is that a good thing? Isaiah 1:22 Douay-Rheims Bible "Thy silver is turned into dress: thy wine is mingled with water" New Living Translation "Once like pure silver, you have become like worthless slag. Once so pure, you are now like watered-down wine" Isaiah 5:22 King James Bible "Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink" New International Version "Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks" Mark 15:23 King James Bible "And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not" NOTES: Wine mingled with frankincense was what was usually given by the Jews to persons going to die. The stupefying drink usually given to those crucified. A grain of frankincense in a cup of wine, that his mind may be disturbed, or not sensible. [link to bible.cc] Keep reading Proverbs 9 until the end. This is her so called 'wisdom'... 17) "Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant" Stolen merchandise is a "good" thing according to her! 18) But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

Their is a difference in earthly/fleshly/carnal wisdom and heavenly/spiritual/cardinal wisdom You know this , for those un~circumsised in the heart it will be impossible for them to correctly interpret the word It is a warning against the sensual/lower animal nature and to not mix your energies with the wrong energies ... the same principle of being unevenly yoked. 2 Corinthians 3 .14But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.15But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart;16but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. What about all the entries of Wisdom in the proverbs? proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. proverbs 1 1The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: 2To know wisdom and instruction, To discern the sayings of understanding, 3To receive instruction in wise behavior, Righteousness, justice and equity; 4To give prudence to the naive, To the youth knowledge and discretion, 5A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel, 6To understand a proverb and a figure, The words of the wise and their riddles. 7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction. 20Wisdom shouts in the street, She lifts her voice in the square; 21At the head of the noisy streets she cries out; At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings: 22“How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge? 23“Turn to my reproof, Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. 24“Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention; 25And you neglected all my counsel And did not want my reproof; 26I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes, 27When your dread comes like a storm And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. 28“Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently but they will not find me, 29Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD. 30“They would not accept my counsel, They spurned all my reproof. 31“So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way And be satiated with their own devices. 32“For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them. 33“But he who listens to me shall live securely And will be at ease from the dread of evil.” also about the mingling ~~~ [link to www.ewtn.com] "For because Christ bore us all, in that He also bore our sins, we see that in the water is understood the people, but in the wine is showed the blood of Christ. But when the water is mingled in the cup with wine, the people [are] made one with Christ, and the assembly of believers is associated and conjoined with Him on whom it believes; which association and conjunction of water and wine is so mingled in the Lord's cup, that that mixture cannot any more be separated. "Whence, moreover, nothing can separate the Church — that is, the people established in the Church, faithfully and firmly persevering in that which they have believed — from Christ, in such a way as to prevent their undivided love from always abiding and adhering. Thus, therefore, in consecrating the cup of the Lord, water alone cannot be offered, even as wine alone cannot be offered. For if any one offer wine only, the blood of Christ is dissociated from us; but if the water be alone, the people are dissociated from Christ; but when both are mingled, and are joined with one another by a close union, there is completed a spiritual and heavenly sacrament. "Thus the cup of the Lord is not indeed water alone, nor wine alone, unless each be mingled with the other; just as, on the other hand, the body of the Lord cannot be flour alone or water alone, unless both should be united and joined together and compacted in the mass of one bread; in which very sacrament our people are shown to be made one, so that in like manner as many grains, collected, and ground, and mixed together into one mass, make one bread; so in Christ, who is the heavenly bread, we may know that there is one body, with which our number is joined and united" ("On the Sacrament of the Cup of the Lord," No 13). Another important symbolic explanation for this rite is given in St. Thomas Aquinas, in his Summa Theologiae, III pars q 74, 6-8: "Water ought to be mingled with the wine which is offered in this sacrament. "First of all, on account of its institution: for it is believed with probability that our Lord instituted this sacrament in wine tempered with water according to the custom of that country: hence it is written (Proverbs 9:5): 'Drink the wine which I have mixed for you.'
