Proverbs 1:22

The Call Of Lady Wisdom

²¹ Her words are sounding in the meeting-places, and in the doorways of the town: ²² How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge? ²³ Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you.
