Proverbs 1:20-23

The Call of Wisdom

20 aWisdom cries aloud in the street,
in the markets she raises her voice;
21at the head of the noisy streets she cries out;
at bthe entrance of the city gates she speaks:
22“How long, O csimple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will dscoffers delight in their scoffing
and fools ehate knowledge?
23If you turn at my reproof,
Or Will you turn away at my reproof?

behold, I will gpour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you.

Proverbs 8:1-5

The Blessings of Wisdom

1 Does not hwisdom call?
Does not iunderstanding raise her voice?
2On jthe heights beside the way,
at the crossroads she takes her stand;
3beside kthe gates in front of lthe town,
at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud:
4“To you, O mmen, I call,
and my cry is to nthe children of man.
5O osimple ones, learn pprudence;
O qfools, learn sense.
