Footnotes

  1. 5 Heb “men.” Although it might be argued in light of the preceding material that males would be particularly addressed by wisdom here, the following material indicates a more universal appeal. Cf. , “to all of you.”
  2. 6 The verb “calls” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for the sake of style.
  3. 7 Heb “sons of man.” Cf. “the children of men”; , “all people”; “all that live.”
