Wisdom Calls

歌詞

Wisdom calls aloud in the street She raises her voice in the public squares At the noisy streets she cries out In the gateways of the city she makes her speech How long will you simple ones Love your simple ways? How long will mockers boast And fools hate knowledge? I would have poured out my heart to you And made my thoughts known to you Seek me while you can Or it will be to late Then you will call to me But I will not answer Since you rejected me when I called Since you ignored all my advice And would not accept my rebuke I in turn will laugh at your disaster How long will you simple ones Love your simple ways? How long will mockers boast And fools hate knowledge? I would have poured out my heart to you And made my thoughts known to you Seek me while you can! They will call to me But I will not answer They will look for me But they will not find me Since they hated knowledge And did not choose to fear the Lord They will eat the fruit of their ways And be filled with the fruit of their schemes The waywardness of the simple will kill them The complacency of fools will destroy them Whoever listens to me will live in safety And be at ease without fear of harm How long will you simple ones Love your simple ways? How long will mockers boast And fools hate knowledge? [Proverbs 1]
