You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart!
In context
3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entry doors, she cries aloud:
4 “I call to you men! I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
5 You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart!
6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things.
7 For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
