In His mercy, the Lord continues to call to sinners because He is “longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9 nkjv). Wisdom returns to the crowded places of the city and calls out so everyone may hear. But note that she addresses the simple and the fools but not the scorners (compare Prov. 1:22 with 8:5). They had laughed at her message and turned away from the truth, so their opportunities were over not because God wasn’t speaking but because their hearts were too hard to hear. “Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” (Heb. 4:7 nkjv). “See that you do not refuse Him who speaks” (12:25 nkjv).
Wisdom’s second message has three very clear points, followed by a call to decision.
