4 "To you, O men, I call, and my cry is to the sons of men.

5 O simple ones, learn prudence; O foolish men, pay attention.

6 Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my lips will come what is right;

7 for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

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

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

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

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

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

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