In context
16 For, their feet, to mischief, do run, and haste to the shedding of blood.
17 Surely, in vain, is spread the net, in the sight of aught that hath wings!
18 Yet, they, for their own blood, lie in wait, They watch in secret for their own life.
19 Such are the ways of every one that graspeth with greed, The life of the owners thereof, it taketh away!
20 Wisdom, in the open place, soundeth forth, in the broadways, she raiseth her voice;
21 At the head of bustling streets, she crieth aloud,—at the openings of the gates in the city—her sayings, she doth utter:—
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and, scoffers, in scoffing, delight them? and, dullards, hate knowledge?
