Proverbs 8:4

Wisdom Calls

³
Beside the gates, at the entrance to the city,
At the entrance of the doors, she cries out:
⁴ 
“To you, O men, I call,
And my voice is directed to the sons of men.
⁵
“O you naive or inexperienced [who are easily misled], understand prudence and seek astute common sense;
And, O you [closed-minded, self-confident] fools, understand wisdom [seek the insight and self-discipline that leads to godly living].
