How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hateg knowledge?

in the markets she raises her voice;

How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
and fools hate knowledge?

How long will you mockers relish your mocking?
How long will you fools hate knowledge?

Wisdom calls out in the streets,
in the squares she raises her voice.
On a busy corner she cries out,
at the entrances of the gates in the city, she speaks her sayings:
“How long, O simple ones, will you love simplicity?
And how long will scoffers delight in their scoffing,
and fools hate knowledge?

KJV 1900King James Version
Wisdom crieth without;
She uttereth her voice in the streets:
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates:
In the city she uttereth her words, saying,
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?
And the scorners delight in their scorning,
And fools hate knowledge?
