Proverbs 1:19-23 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

19. Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain;it takes away the life of those who get it.

20. Out in the open wisdom calls aloud,she raises her voice in the public square;

21. on top of the wall she cries out,at the city gate she makes her speech:

22. ‘How long will you who are simple love your simple ways?How long will mockers delight in mockeryand fools hate knowledge?

23. Repent at my rebuke!Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,I will make known to you my teachings.
