Renascent - Wisdom Calls lyrics
rate meWisdom calls aloud in the street<br />
She raises her voice in the public squares<br />
At the noisy streets she cries out<br />
In the gateways of the city she makes her speech<br />
How long will you simple ones<br />
Love your simple ways?<br />
How long will mockers boast<br />
And fools hate knowledge?<br />
I would have poured out my heart to you<br />
And made my thoughts known to you<br />
Seek me while you can<br />
Or it will be to late<br />
Then you will call to me<br />
But I will not answer<br />
Since you rejected me when I called<br />
Since you ignored all my advice<br />
And would not accept my rebuke<br />
I in turn will laugh at your disaster<br />
How long will you simple ones<br />
Love your simple ways?<br />
How long will mockers boast<br />
And fools hate knowledge?<br />
I would have poured out my heart to you<br />
And made my thoughts known to you<br />
Seek me while you can! <br />
They will call to me<br />
But I will not answer<br />
They will look for me<br />
But they will not find me<br />
Since they hated knowledge<br />
And did not choose to fear the Lord<br />
They will eat the fruit of their ways<br />
And be filled with the fruit of their schemes<br />
The waywardness of the simple will kill them<br />
The complacency of fools will destroy them<br />
Whoever listens to me will live in safety<br />
And be at ease without fear of harm<br />
How long will you simple ones<br />
Love your simple ways?<br />
How long will mockers boast<br />
And fools hate knowledge?
