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 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors.

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

4 To you, O men, I call; and my voice [is] to the sons of man.

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

5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

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

6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips [shall be] right things.

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