In context
2 At the top of the high places above the way, at the place where paths meet, she taketh her stand:
3 Beside the gates, at the entrance of the city,—at the going in of the openings, she shouteth:—
4 Unto you, O men, I call, and, my voice, is unto the sons of men;
5 Understand, ye simple ones, shrewdness, and, ye dullards understand sense;
6 Hear, for, princely things, will I speak, and the opening of my lips shall be of equity;
7 For, faithfulness, shall my mouth softly utter, but, the abomination of my lips, shall be lawlessness;
8 In righteousness, shall be all the sayings of my mouth, nothing therein, shall be crafty or perverse;
