- 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.
|
- 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.
