1. Does not wisdom call out?Does not understanding raise her voice?
2. At the top of the elevated places along the way,at the intersection of the paths she takes her stand;
3. beside the gates opening into the city,at the entrance of the doorways she cries out:
4. “To you, O people, I call out,and my voice calls to all mankind.
5. You who are naive, discern wisdom!And you fools, understand discernment!
6. Listen, for I will speak excellent things,and my lips will utter what is right.
