- 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.

- Listen, for I have worthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.
- My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.
- All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse.
- To the discerning all of them are right; they are faultless to those who have knowledge.
- Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold,
