1. Does not wisdom call, And understanding lift up her voice?
2. On top of the heights beside the way, Where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3. Beside the gates, at the opening to the city, At the entrance of the doors, she cries out:
4. "To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of men.
5. "O naive ones, understand prudence; And, O fools, understand wisdom.
