Wisdom cries without
she utters her voice in the streets
She cries in the chief place of concourse
in the openings of the gates in the city she utters her words, saying
How long
you simple ones will you love simplicity?
and the scorners delight in their scorning
and fools hate knowledge?
Turn you at my reproof
rebuke
scolding
behold
I will pour out my spirit unto you
I will make known my words unto you
Because I have called and you refused
I have stretched out my hand
and no man regarded
But you have set at nothing
despised
all my counsel
and would none of my reproof
rebuke
scolding
I also will laugh at your calamity
I will mock when your fear cometh
When your fear cometh as desolation
and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind
when distress and anguish cometh upon you
Then shall they call upon me
but I will not answer
they shall seek me early
but they shall not find me
For that they hated knowledge
and did not choose the fear of the Lord-Yehōvah
Messiah Pre-Incarnate
They would none of my counsel
they despised all my reproof
rebuke
scolding
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way
and be filled with their own devices
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them
and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them
But whoso hearkens unto me shall dwell safely
and shall be quiet from fear of evil
