1 Does not wisdom call out, and prudence bestow her voice?

2 At the summits and the tops of exalted places, standing above the ways, in the midst of the paths,

3 beside the gates of the city, at the very doors, she speaks, saying:

4 “O men, to you I call out, and my voice is to the sons of men.

5 O little ones, understand discernment. And you who are unwise, turn your souls.

6 Listen, for I will speak about great things, and my lips will be opened, so as to foretell what is right.

7 My throat shall practice truth, and my lips shall detest the impious.

8 All my words are just. There is no depravity in them, and no perversity.
