The Call of Wisdom

20 ^eWisdom cries aloud in the street,
in the markets she raises her voice;
21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out;
at ^fthe entrance of the city gates she speaks:
22 “How long, O ^gsimple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will ^hscoffers delight in their scoffing
and fools ⁱhate knowledge?
23 If you turn at my reproof, ^{▼▼Or Will you turn away at my reproof?}
behold, I will ^kpour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you.
24 ^lBecause I have called and ^myou refused to listen,
have ⁿstretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
25 because you have ^oignored all my counsel
and ^pwould have none of my reproof,
26 I also ^qwill laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when ^rterror strikes you,
27 when terror strikes you like ^sa storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 ^tThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
29 Because they ^uhated knowledge
and ^vdid not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 ^wwould have none of my counsel
and ^xdespised all my reproof,
31 therefore they shall eat ^ythe fruit of their way,
and have ^ztheir fill of their own devices.
32 For the simple are killed by ^aatheir turning away,
and ^abthe complacency of fools destroys them;
33 but ^acwhoever listens to me will dwell secure
and will be ^adat ease, without dread of disaster.”
