Proverbs 1:20-22
International Children’s Bible

Wisdom Speaks

20 Wisdom is like a good woman who shouts in the street.
    She raises her voice in the city squares.
21 She cries out in the noisy street.
    She makes her speech at the city gates:
22 “You foolish people! How long do you want to stay foolish?
    How long will you make fun of wisdom?
    How long will you hate knowledge?

Wisdom’s Rebuke

20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud,(A)
    she raises her voice in the public square;
21 on top of the wall[a] she cries out,
    at the city gate she makes her speech:

22 “How long will you who are simple(B) love your simple ways?
    How long will mockers delight in mockery
    and fools hate(C) knowledge?
