On the top of high places by the way, Where the paths meet, she standeth;
Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, At the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:
Unto you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of men.
O ye simple, understand prudence; And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart.
Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.
For my mouth shall utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
