Proverbs 8:1-6

NLT

NIV

1 Listen as Wisdom calls out! Hear as understanding raises her voice!
1 Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 On the hilltop along the road, she takes her stand at the crossroads.
2 At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 By the gates at the entrance to the town, on the road leading in, she cries aloud,
3 beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud:
4 “I call to you, to all of you! I raise my voice to all people.
4 “To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You simple people, use good judgment. You foolish people, show some understanding.
5 You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.
6 Listen to me! For I have important things to tell you. Everything I say is right,
6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.
