"Warning Against Disregarding Wisdom Wisdom calls out in the street, she shouts loudly in the plazas;"
— Proverbs 1:20, NET Bible
“Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:”
“ Wisdom crieth aloud in the street; She uttereth her voice in the broad places; ”
“Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.”
“Wisdom preacheth abroad, she uttereth her voice in the streets:”
“Wisdom is crying out in the street; her voice is loud in the open places;”
“Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:”
Surely it is futile to spread a net in plain sight of any bird,
but these men lie in wait for their own blood, they ambush their own lives!
Such are the ways of all who gain profit unjustly; it takes away the life of those who obtain it!
Warning Against Disregarding Wisdom Wisdom calls out in the street, she shouts loudly in the plazas;
at the head of the noisy streets she calls, in the entrances of the gates in the city she utters her words:
“How long will you simpletons love naiveté? How long have mockers delighted in mockery? And how long will fools hate knowledge?
You should respond to my rebuke. Then I would pour out my thoughts to you; I would make my words known to you.
