Proverbs 1:20 in Context — Proverbs 1

18 Porém estes estão esperando [o derramamento] de seu [próprio] sangue; e preparam emboscada para suas [próprias] almas.

19 Assim [são] os caminhos de todo aquele que tem ganância pelo lucro desonesto; ela tomará a alma daqueles que a tem.

20 A sabedoria grita pelas ruas; nas praças ela levanta sua voz.

21 Ela clama nas encruzilhadas, onde [passam] muita gente; às entradas das portas, nas cidades ela diz suas mensagens:
