Proverbs 8:2

Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.

Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner.

As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn’t listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are a great company.

She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:

She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city:

She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

Yahweh said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.

Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’

Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,

He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’

Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.

And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
