| 20 | Wisdom sings her song in the streets. In the public squares she raises her voice. | Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice; | Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square; | |
| 21 | At the corners of noisy streets she calls out. At the entrances to the city she speaks her words, | at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: | on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech: | |
| 22 | |How long will you gullible people love being so gullible? How long will you mockers find joy in your mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge? | “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? | “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? | |
| 23 | |Turn to me when I warn you. I will generously pour out my spirit for you. I will make my words known to you. | If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you. | Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings. | |
