1. Wisdom calls to you like someone shouting;understanding raises her voice.
2. On the hilltops along the roadand at the crossroads, she stands calling.
3. Beside the city gates,at the entrances into the city, she calls out:
4. “Listen, everyone, I’m calling out to you;I am shouting to all people.
5. You who are uneducated, seek wisdom.You who are foolish, get understanding.
6. Listen, because I have important things to say,and what I tell you is right.
