1 Does not wisdom cry out, And understanding lift up her voice?

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

2 She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, Beside the way, where the paths meet.

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

3 She cries out by 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 men.

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

5 O you simple ones, understand prudence, And you fools, be of an understanding heart.

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

6 Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, And from the opening of my lips will come right things;

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

7 For my mouth will speak truth; Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

7 My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.
