20 Wisdom is crying out in the street; her voice is loud in the open places;

21 Her words are sounding in the meeting-places, and in the doorways of the town:

22 How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?

23 Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you.

20 智慧在街上呼喊， 在广场上扬声；

21 在闹市中心呼叫， 在城门口发出言语， 说：

22 "你们愚蒙人喜爱愚蒙， 好讥笑的人喜欢讥笑， 愚昧人恨恶知识， 要到几时呢？

23 你们要因我的责备回转， 我就把我的心意（"心意"或译： "灵"）向你们倾吐， 把我的话指示你们。
