1Does not wisdom call out,
and understanding raise her voice?
2On the heights overlooking the road,
at the crossroads she takes her stand.
3Beside the gates to the city,
at the entrances she cries out:
4“To you, O men, I call out,
and my cry is to the sons of men.
5O simple ones, learn to be shrewd;
O fools, gain understanding.
— Proverbs 8:1-5
