²⁰Wisdom calls out in the street, ²¹in the main concourse she cries aloud, ²²“How long, O simple ones, will you love your simple ways? ²³If you had repented at my rebuke, ²⁴Because you refused my call, ²⁵because you neglected all my counsel, ²⁶in turn I will mock your calamity; ²⁷when your dread comes like a storm, ²⁸Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; ²⁹For they hated knowledge ³⁰They accepted none of my counsel; ³¹So they will eat the fruit of their own way, ³²For the waywardness of the simple will slay them, ³³But whoever listens to me will dwell in safety,
