Proverbs 8:5
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
O simple ones, learn to be shrewd; O fools, gain understanding.
In context
3 Beside the gates to the city, at the entrances she cries out:
4 “To you, O men, I call out, and my cry is to the sons of men.
5 O simple ones, learn to be shrewd; O fools, gain understanding.
6 Listen, for I speak of noble things, and the opening of my lips will reveal right.
7 For my mouth will speak the truth, and wickedness is detestable to my lips.
