Proverbs 1:19-22 New International Version (NIV)

19. Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.

20. Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square;

21. on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech:

22. “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?
