²⁰ Wisdom is like a woman shouting in the street;
    she raises her voice in the city squares.
²¹ She cries out in the noisy street
    and shouts at the city gates:
²² “You fools, how long will you be foolish?
    How long will you make fun of wisdom
    and hate knowledge?
²³ If only you had listened when I corrected you,
    I would have told you what’s in my heart;
    I would have told you what I am thinking.
