1 Does not wisdom cry out, and understanding lift her voice?
2 On the topmost heights along the way, at the crossroads, she takes her stand.
3 Beside the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud:
4 “To you, O men, I call out! My cry is to all mankind!
5 O naïve ones, learn prudence! Fools, gain understanding!
6 Listen, for I speak excellent things, and my lips utter right things.
