Proverbs 1:22

The Call Of Lady Wisdom

²¹ at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: ²² “How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?
And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge?
²³ If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you.
