20 Wisdom will cry without; in the broad places she will give 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 She will call in the head of sound, in the entrances of the gates: in the city she will say 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, ye simple, will ye love simplicity? and mockers delight to mock for them, and the foolish 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 Ye shall turn back at my reproofs: behold, I will pour forth my spirit to you, I will make known my words 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.
