1
Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice?
2
On the heights, beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand;
3
beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries out:
4
"To you, O people, I call, and my cry is to all that live.
5
O simple ones, learn prudence; acquire intelligence, you who lack it.
