Proverbs 1:19-23

¹⁹So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; who taketh away the life of its owners.

²⁰Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

²¹She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying ,

²²How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

²³Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit to you, I will make known to you my words.
