Listen to Wisdom
8Wisdom calls to you like someone shouting;
understanding raises her voice.
2On the hilltops along the road
and at the crossroads, she stands calling.
3Beside the city gates,
at the entrances into the city, she calls out:
4“Listen, everyone, I’m calling out to you;
I am shouting to all people.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
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:
“To you, O men, I call,
and my cry is to the children of man.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
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:
“To you, O people, I call out;
I raise my voice to all mankind.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
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:
“People, I call out to you;
my cry is to the children of Adam.

NLTNew Living Translation
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,
“I call to you, to all of you!
I raise my voice to all people.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
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:
“To you, O people, I call,
and my cry is to the children of humankind.

KJV 1900King James Version
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.
Unto you, O men, I call;
And my voice is to the sons of man.
