The Call of Wisdom

They shall find all the precious goods,
And shall fill the house with plunder;
Precious substance from the falsehoods,
Will have one purse and not wander.

Do not walk in the way with them,
Holding back your foot from their path;
For the Lord will surely condemn,
And will punish you with His wrath.

For their feet will run to evil,
And they make haste in shedding blood;
Being guided by the devil,
Trapped by the deluge of a flood.

For in vain is a net to spread,
Snared in the sight of any bird;
Finally finding themselves dead,
Because of ignoring God’s Word.

They lie in wait for their own blood,
Setting an ambush for their lives;
Lurking privily till one could,
Kill the men to ravish their wives.

Such are the ways for unjust gain,
Taking away life of possessors;
Resistance means to cause them pain,
Who don’t obey the transgressors.

Wisdom cries aloud in the street,
In the town she raises her voice;
They removed her shoes from her feet,
Tore her dress resisting their choice.

At the noisy street she cries out,
At the entrance by the town gate;
No response of plea to her shout,
Uttered demise about her fate.

How long O cretins you love,
How long will the scoffers delight;
They delight in scorning thereof,
Fools hating wisdom in their sight.
