1 Doesn’t wisdom cry out?Doesn’t understanding raise her voice?
2 On the top of high places by the way,where the paths meet, she stands.
3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city,at the entry doors, she cries aloud:
4 “To you men, I call!I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
5 You simple, understand prudence.You fools, be of an understanding heart.
6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things.The opening of my lips is for right things.
