Proverbs 1:22

The Call Of Lady Wisdom

²¹ She crieth in the chief place of concourse; At the entrance of the gates, In the city, she uttereth her words: ²² How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge? ²³ Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make known my words unto you.
