Footnotes
huios tou anthrōpou (υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου) — in Aramaic, bar enasha can mean "a human being/this man" or carry the weight of Daniel 7:13's heavenly figure. The deliberate ambiguity may be intentional. oinopotēs (οἰνοπότης) — "wine-bibber," a term of social stigma stronger than merely "drinker." The closing claim — wisdom vindicated by her deeds — personifies Wisdom as in Proverbs 8, implying Yeshua embodies divine Wisdom; His deeds validate her identity regardless of the crowd's verdict.
