Wisdom Calls For A Hearing

Proverbs 8 Wisdom Calls for a Hearing   1 Listen as Wisdom calls out!       Hear as understanding raises her voice!   2 On the hilltop along the road,       she takes her stand at the crossroads.   3 By the gates at the entrance to the town,       on the road leading in, she cries aloud, Prov. 8:1-3 Wisdom is portrayed as a women who guides us   4 “I call to you, to all of you!       I raise my voice to all people.   5 You simple people, use good judgment.       You foolish people, show some understanding.   6 Listen to me!
