In context
17 How futile it is to spread the net where any bird can see it!
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush their own lives.
19 Such is the fate of all who are greedy, whose unjust gain takes the lives of its possessors.
20 Wisdom calls out in the street, she lifts her voice in the square;
21 in the main concourse she cries aloud, at the city gates she makes her speech:
22 “How long, O simple ones, will you love your simple ways? How long will scoffers delight in their scorn and fools hate knowledge?
23 If you had repented at my rebuke, then surely I would have poured out my spirit on you; I would have made my words known to you.
