2. On the heights along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

3. beside the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud:

4. "To you, O men, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.

5. You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, gain understanding.

6. Listen, for I have worthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.

Questions
