She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors:
Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, At the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:
Beside the gates, at the entrance to the city, At the entrance of the doors, she cries out:
At the gates at the entrance of the town, at the coming in at the doors, she cries out:
She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
Beside the gates leading into the city, at the main entrance, she cries out:

By the gate before the city, at the entrances she shouts:

She stands by the city gate where everyone enters the city, and she shouts:
Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud.
Beside the gates of the city, in the very doors she speaketh, saying:
She is near the entrance to the city, calling from the open gates.
She stands near the gates where people go into the city. This is what she says:

Beside the gates, at the opening to the city, At the entrance of the doors, she makes a shout:
Beside gates, before towns, at the entrance of doors, she cries out:
Can’t you hear the voice of wisdom? She is standing at the city gates and at every fork in the road, and at the door of every house. Listen to what she says:
Do you hear Lady Wisdom calling? Can you hear Madame Insight raising her voice? She’s taken her stand at First and Main, at the busiest intersection. Right in the city square where the traffic is thickest, she shouts, “You—I’m talking to all of you, everyone out here on the streets! Listen, you idiots—learn good sense! You blockheads—shape up! Don’t miss a word of this—I’m telling you how to live well, I’m telling you how to live at your best. My mouth chews and savors and relishes truth— I can’t stand the taste of evil! You’ll only hear true and right words from my mouth; not one syllable will be twisted or skewed. You’ll recognize this as true—you with open minds; truth-ready minds will see it at once. Prefer my life-disciplines over chasing after money, and God-knowledge over a lucrative career. For Wisdom is better than all the trappings of wealth; nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her.
She cries out at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors:
near the gates to the city. At the entrance wisdom sings its song,

beside the gates opening into the city, at the entrance of the doorways she cries out:
Beside the gate leading into the city, she cries out at the entrance. She says,
beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud:
beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud:
She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, At the entrance of the doors:
Beside the gates in front of the town, at the open doors, she cries out,
By the gates at the entrance to the town, on the road leading in, she cries aloud,
beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries out:
beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries out:
beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries out:
