Proverbs 1:20-22

The Call of Wisdom

20 Wisdom cries aloud in the street,
in the markets she raises her voice;
21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out;
at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:
22 How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
and fools hate knowledge?
