1 Wisdom is calling! Understanding is raising her voice!

1 Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?

2 On the heights along the road, where the paths meet, she is standing;

2 At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

3 by the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud:

3 beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud:

4 "People, I am calling you, raising my voice to all mankind.

4 “To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.

5 You who don't direct your lives, understand caution; as for you, you fools, get some common sense!

5 You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.

6 "Listen! I will say worthwhile things; when I speak, my words are right.

6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.
