- Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
- She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
- She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
- Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
- O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
|
- Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?
- On the heights along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
- beside the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud:
- "To you, O men, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.
- You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, gain understanding.
