“She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,”
Proverbs 1:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 1:21
Wisdom 'crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words.' This personification shows wisdom actively seeking hearers in public spaces—not hidden but proclaimed openly. The marketplace, city gates, and public squares host wisdom's appeal. This demonstrates accessibility—no one can claim ignorance because wisdom wasn't available. God's truth is public, not esoteric. Wisdom's public proclamation condemns those who reject her; they had opportunity to hear.
