| 21 | at the head of the noisy streets she calls, in the entrances of the gates in the city she utters 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 simpletons love naivete? How long will mockers delight in mockery and 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 | If only you will respond to my rebuke, then I will pour out my thoughts to you and 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. | |
