Proverbs 8:1-5

1Does not wisdom call, And understanding lift up her voice?

2On the top of the heights beside the way, Where the paths meet, wisdom takes her stand;

3Beside the gates, at the entrance to the city, At the entrance of the doors, she cries out:

4“To you, O men, I call, And my voice is directed to the sons of men.

5O you naive or inexperienced [who are easily misled], understand prudence and seek astute common sense; And, O you [closed-minded, self-confident] fools, understand wisdom [seek the insight and self-discipline that leads to godly living].
