What do you think the 7 pillars of wisdom refer to (ie, what does each pillar represent)
Here is verse 1
1 Wisdom has built her house;
she has hewn out its seven pillars.

Wisdom personified in Proverbs. One section of the Book of Proverbs uses a distinctive literary device; it presents wisdom as a woman. The use of this device in Pr 1-9 is partly explained by the fact that the noun "wisdom" is feminine. Yet the image is powerful, leading some scholars to speculate that the wisdom mentioned in Proverbs is the Logos of the NT. Most, however, doubt such an identification.
some interpret--the seven pillars are seven aspects of wisdom
Another interpretation is: The seven pillars are figurative:; they do not represent seven principles of wisdom. In the Bible the number seven represents completeness and perfection. This verse poetically states that wisdom lacks nothing--it is complete and perfect

I don't think the 7 pillars represent anything. The number 7 in Jewish writing stands for perfection.

7 is the number of perfection or completeness. Here is another passage where 7 descriptions of the Spirit are given.
Isaiah 11:2
And 1the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, 2the Spirit of wisdom and 3understanding, 4the Spirit of counsel and 5might, the Spirit of6 knowledge and7 the fear of the LORD.

I advise reading fictional material that uses modern day english, as it's more funny and comical to hear about Jesus getting tortured when you completely understand what they are talking about ;)
