Proverbs 1:22

The Call Of Lady Wisdom

²¹ She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the entrance to the gates of the city she utters her words, saying, ²² “How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?
And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge?
²³ Return at my reproof; behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
