Proverbs 1:22

The Call Of Lady Wisdom

²¹ She calls in the streets, in the opening of the gates: in the city she utters her words. She says: ²² “How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?
And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge?
²³ Listen when I reprove you. I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make my words known to you.
