Wisdom crieth aloud in the street; she uttereth her voice in the broad places;

Proverbs 1 : 21 (RV)

She crieth in the chief place of concourse; at the entering in of the gates, in the city, she uttereth her words:

Proverbs 1 : 22 (RV)

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and scorners delight them in scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

Proverbs 1 : 25 (RV)

But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

Proverbs 1 : 26 (RV)

I also will laugh in cf15i the day of your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

When your fear cometh as a storm, and your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you.

They would none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof:

For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
