1 Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the heights overlooking the road, at the crossroads, she takes her stand.

3 Beside the gates at the entry to the city, at the main entrance, she cries out:
3 beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud:
4 "People, I call out to you; my cry is to mankind.
4 “To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced; develop common sense, you who are foolish.
5 You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.
6 Listen, for I speak of noble things, and what my lips say is right.
6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.
