“O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.”
“O ye simple, understand prudence; And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart. ”
“You simple, understand prudence. You fools, be of an understanding heart.”
“You who are naive, discern wisdom! And you fools, understand discernment!”
“O little ones understand subtlety, and ye unwise, take notice.”
“Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart.”
“O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.”
At the summits and the tops of exalted places, standing above the ways, in the midst of the paths,
beside the gates of the city, at the very doors, she speaks, saying:
“O men, to you I call out, and my voice is to the sons of men.
O little ones, understand discernment. And you who are unwise, turn your souls.
Listen, for I will speak about great things, and my lips will be opened, so as to foretell what is right.
My throat shall practice truth, and my lips shall detest the impious.
All my words are just. There is no depravity in them, and no perversity.
