Proverbs
Chapters 8:1-5
Amplified Bible
1DOES NOT skillful and godly Wisdom cry out, and understanding raise her voice [in contrast to the loose woman]?
2On the top of the heights beside the way, where the paths meet, stands Wisdom [skillful and godly];
3At the gates at the entrance of the town, at the coming in at the doors, she cries out:
4To you, O men, I call, and my voice is directed to the sons of men.
5O you simple and thoughtless ones, understand prudence; you [self-confident] fools, be of an understanding heart. [Isa. 32:6.]
