As we read the Bible, God brings to our attention by his Holy Spirit in us, words that he wants us to take note of.

As I was reading the three verses from Proverbs Chapter 1, verses 20-22, my attention was drawn to the words: "Wisdom in an out-place crieth aloud, in broad places she giveth forth her voice,". Firstly, because the word "out-place" is as new word and so I pondered what it meant. Wisdom is not confined to closed spaces, available to a limited few, but is broadcast, outside, in open space and is not quiet and secretive but clearly to be heard: "crieth aloud'. And secondly, not only in an out-place but in broad places can wisdom be heard.

Wisdom is freely and clearly available so it is human choice which rejects wisdom: the simple choose to love simplicity, scorners desire to be scornful, and fools hate knowledge.
