Proverbs 1:21-23

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²¹ At the busiest corner she cries out;
    at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:
²² “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
    and fools hate knowledge?
²³ Give heed to my reproof;
I will pour out my thoughts to you;
    I will make my words known to you.
