Proverbs 1:20-23

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁰ Wisdom cries out in the street;
    in the squares she raises her voice.^(A)
21 At the busiest corner she cries out;
    at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:
²² “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
    and fools hate knowledge?^(B)
23 Give heed to my reproof;
I will pour out my thoughts to you;
    I will make my words known to you.^(C)
