- Does not wisdom call, And understanding lift up her voice?
- On top of the heights beside the way, Where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
- Beside the gates, at the opening to the city, At the entrance of the doors, she cries out:
- "To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of men.
- "O naive ones, understand prudence; And, O fools, understand wisdom.

- 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.
