Provérbios 1

Wisdom Warns

20 Wisdom shouts in the street,

She *1:20 Lit givesraises her voice in the public square;

21 At the head of the noisy streets she cries out;

At the entrance of the gates in the city she declares her sayings:

22 "How long, you naive ones, will you love simplistic thinking?

And how long will scoffers delight themselves in scoffing

And fools hate knowledge?

23 "Turn to my rebuke,

Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you;

I will make my words known to you.
