Proverbs 1:20-23

Christian Standard Bible

²⁰ Wisdom calls out in the street;
she makes her voice heard in the public squares.^(A)
21 She cries out above^[a] the commotion;
she speaks at the entrance of the city gates:
²² “How long, inexperienced ones, will you love ignorance?
How long will you mockers^(B) enjoy mocking
and you fools hate knowledge?^(C)
23 If you respond to my warning,^[b](D)
then I will pour out my spirit on you^(E)
and teach you my words.
