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.
7. For my mouth speaks truth,and my lips hate wickedness.
8. All the words of my mouth are righteous;there is nothing in them twisted or crooked.
9. All of them are clear to the discerningand upright to those who find knowledge.
