Proverbs 1:21-23

Lexham English Bible

²¹ On a busy corner^[a] she cries out,
    at the entrances of the gates in the city, she speaks her sayings:
²² “How long,^[b] O simple ones, will you love simplicity?
    And how long will scoffers delight in their scoffing,
    and fools hate knowledge?
²³ May you turn to my argument!^[c]
    Behold, I shall pour out my spirit upon you;
    I will make my words known to you.
