Proverbs 1:21-23
The Voice

21 At the city gates, in the noisy city streets,
    you can hear her speaking over the racket.

22 Lady Wisdom: You simple, naive people, how long will you love your feeble ways?
    You simpletons, how long will you enjoy making fun of what you don’t understand?
        You fools, how long will you hate learning what truly matters?
23     Turn to me and receive my gentle correction;
    Watch and I will pour out my spirit on you;
        I will share with you my wise words in order to redirect your lives.

Proverbs 1:21-23
New International Version

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(A) love your simple ways?
    How long will mockers delight in mockery
    and fools hate(B) knowledge?
23 Repent at my rebuke!
    Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
    I will make known to you my teachings.
