Wisdom cries aloud in the street,
in the markets she raises her voice;
at the head of the noisy streets she cries out;
at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:
“How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
and fools hate knowledge?
(Proverbs 1:20-22 ESV)
Like a town crier, Wisdom is calling out - sometimes bringing important news, sometimes a warning - most of the time, being ignored. Often, reading the news or listening to people, I wonder: "Can they hear the voice of wisdom? Is there any fear of God in their hearts? Do they have a clue?" All the more reason we need to prove wisdom true, and sing in tune with Her, and give voice to the truth of God. May we listen, learn, and let others know.
