Proverbs 8:1–3

Does not wisdom call?

Does not understanding raise her voice?

On the heights beside the way,

at the crossroads she takes her stand;

beside the gates in front of the town,

at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud:

Does not wisdom call out?

Does not understanding raise her voice?

At the highest point along the way,

where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

beside the gate leading into the city,

at the entrance, she cries aloud:

Doesn’t wisdom call out?

Doesn’t understanding make her voice heard?

At the heights overlooking the road,

at the crossroads, she takes her stand.

Beside the gates leading into the city,

at the main entrance, she cries out:

Listen as Wisdom calls out!

Hear as understanding raises her voice!

On the hilltop along the road,

she takes her stand at the crossroads.

By the gates at the entrance to the town,

on the road leading in, she cries aloud,

Does not wisdom call,

and understanding raise its voice?

Atop the heights beside the road,

at the crossroads she stands.

Beside gates, before towns,

at the entrance of doors, she cries out:

Doth not wisdom cry?

And understanding put forth her voice?

She standeth in the top of high places, by the way

In the places of the paths.

She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city,

At the coming in at the doors.
