1. Does not wisdom call out?Does not understanding raise her voice?
2. At the highest point along the way,where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3. beside the gate leading into the city,at the entrance, she cries aloud:
4. ‘To you, O people, I call out;I raise my voice to all humanity.
5. You who are simple, gain prudence;you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.
6. Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;I open my lips to speak what is right.
7. My mouth speaks what is true,for my lips detest wickedness.
