Proverbs 1:20-23 English Standard Version (ESV)

20. Wisdom cries aloud in the street,in the markets she raises her voice;

21. at the head of the noisy streets she cries out;at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:

22. “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?How long will scoffers delight in their scoffingand fools hate knowledge?

23. If you turn at my reproof,behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;I will make my words known to you.
