Proverbs 8 | The Eternal Voice of Wisdom

“Does wisdom not call,And understanding raise her voice?On top of the heights beside the way,Where the paths meet, she takes her stand;Beside the gates, at the opening to the city,At the entrance of the doors, she cries out:” “To you, people, I call,And my voice is to mankind.You naive ones, understand prudence;And you fools, understand wisdom.Listen, for I will speak noble things;And the…
