Proverbs 1:20-23 (Listen)

The Call of Wisdom

20 yWisdom cries aloud in the street,

in the markets she raises her voice;

21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out;

at zthe entrance of the city gates she speaks:

22 “How long, O asimple ones, will you love being simple?

How long will bscoffers delight in their scoffing

and fools chate knowledge?

23 If you turn at my reproof,1

behold, I will dpour out my spirit to you;

I will make my words known to you.
