Proverbs 1:20-22

New Century Version

²⁰ Wisdom is like a woman shouting in the street;
    she raises her voice in the city squares.
²¹ She cries out in the noisy street
    and shouts at the city gates:
²² “You fools, how long will you be foolish?
    How long will you make fun of wisdom
    and hate knowledge?
