1. Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding give forth her voice?
2. On the top of high places by the way, at the cross-paths she taketh her stand.
3. Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud.
4. Unto you, men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of man:
5. O ye simple, understand prudence; and ye foolish, understand sense.
6. Hear, for I will speak excellent things, and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7. For my palate shall meditate truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
