New International Reader's Version

Proverbs 8:1-6 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Doesn't wisdom call out? Doesn't understanding raise her voice?

2. On the high roads along the way, she takes her place where the paths meet.

3. Beside the gates leading into the city, she cries out at the entrances.

4. She says, "Men, I call out to you. I raise my voice to all human beings.

5. You who are childish, get some good sense. You who are foolish, gain understanding.

6. Listen! I have worthy things to say. I open my lips to speak what is right.
