New International Version

Wisdom’s Call

8 Does not wisdom call out?(A)
    Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the highest point along the way,
    where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 beside the gate leading into the city,
    at the entrance, she cries aloud:(B)
4 “To you, O people, I call out;(C)
    I raise my voice to all mankind.

The Excellence of Wisdom

8 Does not (A)wisdom cry out,
And understanding lift up her voice?
2 She takes her stand on the top of the [a]high hill,
Beside the way, where the paths meet.

At the entrance of the doors:
4 “To you, O men, I call,
And my voice is to the sons of men.
