Proverbs 9:1-5 : "Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. "
Jewish worship of the fertility goddess Asherah had ceased by the end of the Babylonian Exile, to be replaced by veneration of Lady Wisdom. A house with seven pillars would be a temple, but there is no suggestion of a temple to Wisdom on earth, so this was a heavenly temple.
Modern Christianity has difficulty in accepting that the early Jews, and indeed the earliest Christians, had venerated Lady Wisdom, so the preference is to refer to Proverb's 'Wisdom' as philosophical wisdom and to try to explain the seven pillars as no more that seven foundational concepts of wisdom. However, a careful reading shows that the passage does refer to Wisdom as 'she' and does have her invite the faithful into her house, where she will expound more proverbs of great (philosophical) wisdom.

Where can I find an argument about 'spare the rod and spoil the child'?
There are several scriptures about the importance of discipline and use of the 'rod' for children (as well as adults), but scripturally, the terms 'discipline' and 'the rod' most often mean 'correction' (training/instruction), not beating or corporal punishment.A good scripture to apply is found at Proverbs 13:24: "He who withholds his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him diligently."(NASB) But also, "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord".(Ephesians 6:4NIV) Why? because " "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him."(Proverbs 22:15 KJV) and "A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother." (Proverbs 29:15 NIV)If we do this, we are copying God's example, since the one GOD loves, he disciplines (Hebrews 12:6)(Proverbs 3:11-12). So, Respecting discipline can mean a person's life. (Proverbs 1:8-9)(Proverbs 4:1)(Proverbs 4:13) (Proverbs 6:23) (Proverbs 8:32-36)(Proverbs 10:17)(Proverbs 12:1)(Proverbs 13:1)(Proverbs 13:18)(Deuteronomy 6:7)(Proverbs 19:18)
