20 Wisdom, in the open place, soundeth forth, in the broadways, she raiseth her voice;

21 At the head of bustling streets, she crieth aloud,at the openings of the gates in the cityher sayings, she doth utter:

22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and, scoffers, in scoffing, delight them? and, dullards, hate knowledge?

23 Will ye turn, at my reproof? Lo! I will pour out to you my spirit, I will make known my words to you.
