ASV(i)
20 Wisdom crieth aloud in the street;
She uttereth her voice in the broad places; 21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse;
At the entrance of the gates,
In the city, she uttereth her words: 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?
And scoffers delight them in scoffing,
And fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof:
Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you;
I will make known my words unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye have refused;
I have stretched out my hand, and no man hath regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel,
And would none of my reproof:
